A really fun local art museum. Easy parking. Quality displays. And it was a make and take day! So fun!! When we bought our tickets we were fully informed about the current artists and themes! All staff were helpful and knowledgeable! I love that they support local artists and have some of their art for sale! After the art museum we grabbed a bite to eat in downtown Elmhurst. Fun date day trip!!

This is a really great small Chicagoland museum. I have visited several times to see specific exhibitions. Some of them, like the ones featuring the Chicago Imagists and the Hairy Who, have been spectacular, as good as what you'd see at the Art Institute. It is not very large place, you can see everything in an hour, but if you see an exhibit that interests you, I highly recommend you visit.

An enjoyable art museum in the suburbs. They had a lot of nice pieces to look at and everyone there was polite and helpful

This small museum has the most incredible and surprising exhibits. From modern icons like Picasso to local legends Hebru Brantley and Sentrock, they are truly thoughtful when curating unique exhibits that showcase Chicago’s art scene. The exhibits are typically a full concept with a unique perspective and story, such as the latest Picasso that showcased the progression of his rarely seen linocut work, or Sentrock which displayed interactive installations, and animated work that tied into the large scale paintings. I always look forward to seeing what original shows they lineup next. Plus, they often have limited edition prints, sculptures, and other merch that is exclusive to the museum. If you’re a fan of current and modern art, it’s definitely worth a trip even if you’re in the city.

It’s a very nice museum space with plenty of light and glass. I visited Picasso exhibit and honestly expected a lot more for a $18 dollar entrance fee. Very few Picasso pictures or objects on loan unfortunately. I think if the price was lower, it would have been more reasonable considering the number of rooms and objects. Interested to see what other exhibits they have in the future, hopefully something a little better curated.

Visited there for the 50 years of Picasso. Nice and cute art museum, perfect place for a small art event. But the entry ($18) is a bit pricy for the amount of art pieces at the exhibition.

It was a great experience to view the art work by Alex Ross and view his creations of the Marvel comic heroes. It's a small venue but really well done. Our grandkids enjoyed paintings and displays as well.

I really enjoyed my visit at the Muesuem. Found some of the exhibits very interesting. The box with the sky had me baffled . Most interesting piece. The part about the lay out of the home was interesting too. Very nice Muesuem. Highly recommend
