Really fun. Our toddler loved the children's section. Very nicely laid out with well thought out exhibits. Enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot.

We went to the Mobile Museum of Art on a rainy day while traveling through the area. The variety of art on display is amazing. There's something to interest everyone. Absolutely worth visiting.

Wonderful experience. Worth checking out.
They do give a discount with student ID.

For such a city with a population under 200,000 this is a significant museum. It includes many local artists and those from within the state. Quality varies widely between collections. Entry experience is odd as one must go in the gift shop to buy a ticket. Friendly staff and on a Thursday afternoon when locals were admitted free of charge the museum was nearly empty. Spent about 90 mins to go through entire museum (3 floors).

Went on Makers Day where museum entry was free as craftsman were in the lobby selling art crafts. The museum was entertaining to walk through and many exhibits. Treehouse room exhibit was by far the highlight. Otherwise it seemed pottery and glass figures may have outnumbered paintings. But now that I've visited once, probably wouldn't do it again as entry fees were a little high.

Absolutely fantastic experience. They have a wide variety of art, and better explanations of what you're seeing than a lot of other museums do. The kids walk itself is incredible (for children and children at heart). Outside of the museum is a sculpture trail, where you can take in both the beautiful Gulf landscape and the beautiful artwork. Inside of the museum, there are permanent and rotating exhibits, all of which are well thought-through.

I have lived in a lot of cities and have been lucky enough to travel to many parts of the world. Mobile's art museum remains one of my favorites...impressive and diverse collection, frequent special exhibits, and beautiful grounds right on the edge of Municipal Park. I love bringing out of town visitors here...who are always surprised at the quality of this fantastic art museum.

Great place lots of Mobile History and lovely exhibits teaching one about Mobile, not from here and living here it's great to go and be able to learn about the history of Mobile. Thanks for offering everyone a free day once a month. Amazing Christmas crafting room with grandkids, Great vendors recently from the area selling local wares. Thanks Mobile Museum.

Great place! There is art for everyone here! The variety in time, place, culture, and style will be sure to satisfy any and all art fans! The staff is super friendly and ready to answer questions. Very easy to get to, easy to park and priced very reasonably.

The exhibits are great with a wide variety of art to gaze at. Each room offers something unique and fun. Staff members allow photos of the exhibits as well. If you are in the area, especially on a hot summer day, you should stop in and soak up some A/C while looking at the art pieces.

Museum is very small and random. You can go through it pretty fast. Some paintings do not have descriptions and some items are guessed. Overall, decent since it one of the few places you can visit in mobile.

This museum has very nice artwork on display. They currently have a project called "do it", which I recommend you see. It has many different artworks that were produced from a basic set of instructions. The neat thing is to see how others interpret the instructions and everyone winds up with the same project but each looks different. Really neat. I would recommend this place to others if you're in the area.
