The Chrysler Museum is one of the best museums in the area for free! Stopped in for a tour and only made it through the glass section of the museum. There are multiple levels so getting to see everything in one day is a feat that we didn’t accomplish on our trip. There’s so much to see and learn.
The gift shop is really cute and has a lot of great stuff! The cafe is a separate place from museum & owned by Taste (separate review otw!). The outside of the museum & garden area is well maintained for visitors. Parking and entry were simple.

Second time here. This is my second visit, and I’m so happy to see all these treasures again! The Chinese Buddhist statues and Tang Dynasty horses are amazing, and I also really love the various Impressionist pieces on display. The mix of Asian and Western art makes this museum truly special, and I enjoy every part of it!🥰
This is a fabulous, must-see art museum. It is amazing that the museum is free admission. And free parking. And the lunch restaurant was so delicious. Like, fancy delicious food
It’s a must location to visit.
I am not a type of person who is much into a museum but this museum is entrance free, and offers variety of arts which keep entertaining me the whole time. Plus, free parking.
I expect to experience a live making glass demonstration but it’s at 12PM which I could not make it.
Overall experience was fun, glass exhibition is very interesting I love it.
Highly recommend for everyone to come.

A very complete museum, great expositions! Amazing world renamed artists and great ancient cultures galleries! We have an amazing time traveling thru art and culture. 😃
As a lifelong Beatles fan, #PaulMcCartney as my favorite, this McCartney photo exhibit got me there from North Carolina! It was a wonderful experience, curated nicely, and enough space for all us Beatles fans to linger. It was great to see things from his perspective. As we walked out of that exhibition, we were astonished to see the others. Wonderful art and antiquities were found throughout the museum, which was a beautiful building.
Thank you to the person with the connections to make this happen, and thank you to the museum staff today (3/29).

I have waited a while to write this review to see if my feelings changed over time. They have not. Went in not expecting a lot. Figured there would be some cool glass pieces and not sure what else. Let me just say, don’t miss the first floor. Upon entering we went to the right and checked out the glass pieces. Not sure how some of these were created. Wow. Then we went to the left side to see the McCarty Photographs. These are a don’t miss set of photos. They tell some fantastic stories of history of himself, the Beatles, girlfriends, and others. We eventually went to the other floors. The whole time we kept thinking about how cool those photos were. One of the other outstanding features of this museum you may not think about is they put the don’t miss items on the first floor. So if your old, hurting, handicap, or just want the highlights, they make it easy for you.
Well done to the museum staff!

A beautiful museum, and it’s free - what’s not to love?
Lots of varied exhibits, the lady at the front desk was very helpful explaining where to go, and the map is fairly clear - once you realise they have painted the walls in the same colour as the section on the map you can’t go wrong.
I started off reading everything in detail, but after 2 hours they were closing, so I had to speed up through the older paintings upstairs and skim them.
Great glassware section, and I loved the Beatles exhibits. (The photo with Muhammad Ali is awesome).
Highly recommended!
