Free but donations appreciated. Exhibits on 3rd and 4th floors. 1st pic is my favorite as I love the colors. Enjoyed looking around!
I had an exceptional experience at the Greenville County Museum of Art. Not only does this museum beautifully showcase local and regional art, but it also impresses with its ability to bring in major exhibits from across the world. The dedication to promoting both local talent and global artistic expression is truly commendable. Walking through the galleries, I was captivated by the diverse range of artworks on display, each telling a unique story and reflecting the richness of human creativity. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor to Greenville, this museum is a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for art and culture. Highly recommend exploring the captivating exhibitions at the Greenville County Museum of Art.
Some parts of the exhibit are closed due to renovation, however for the most part it was a pleasant sight of art.
Walking through the museum's grand entrance, I was immediately captivated by the array of art and artifacts on display. Each exhibit seemed to tell a unique story, drawing me deeper into its narrative. As I wandered through the halls, I found myself transported through time and space, from ancient civilizations to modern masterpieces. The museum's curated collection sparked my imagination and ignited my curiosity, leaving me in awe of the beauty and creativity of human expression. It was a truly unforgettable experience, one that left me inspired and enriched.
Lots of potential to be a great museum, but had a odd experience. I’ve visited museums in many US cities and abroad and never been corrected by the staff so many times. The lack of descriptions below the art is frustrating as well. Again, never been to an art museum without them. Essential to understanding the artist’s intention and meaning. I had to look up every piece on Google, which took away from the whole reason I was there, which was to experience art in real life. When we asked the staff if we could request for those during the remodel, they said just to submit a comment online.
We really enjoyed this museum. The artwork was beautiful. The staff were friendly. They had a fantastic Roaring 20s band called Absynthe Minded. And best of all.... It was all FREE! They are working on the main entrance, so save a few steps and head to the back.
To be honest I was very disappointed with the collection here, 3 floors were open and 99% of the art is of paintings, watercolors etc. absolutely no statues, and very little old paintings, mainly 20th century art and artist. The inside facilities are out of date and need a modern update. The gift shop was closed or being remodeled, the lower floors were closed and dark. I really hope there will be some changes here soon. The entry fee is free and parking on the weekends is free, so it’s a nice place to come and check out the art they do have
