This was my favorite art museum so far! They had a nice mix of different types of art. Unfortunately several areas were closed off and we weren't able to see the dragons or sculpture garden due to a staff setting up for a function. My favorite was the high schoolers art on display. Very creative and meaningful. The plaque descriptions were detailed and easy for a non-artistic person to understand.

I have never been disappointed to go to BAM in my 10 years living in Boise. There is always a new and interesting visiting exhibit and the permanent exhibits are very well done and interesting. For a small town I am always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the arts available here and BAM is one of the pleasant surprises!

The art museum for a small town was nice. It by far was not worth the entry fee, but what else do you do when it's raining.

I'm an art lover and love going to art events, galleries and museums when I travel. This is a nice little museum. We caught it on a day that it was free, so that was nice. We enjoyed the exhibits. And the museum shop was neat, we bought some unique finds.

This was my first visit to the Boise Art Museum and I was disappointed. I wanted to encourage my budding artist who is 12 years old and all she had to say was "Dad, it looks like a little kid drew this stuff." It did not inspire her nor I. One display was a "doll" made from what looked like the cardboard from a shoe box with with marker scrawls on it. A sculpture outside was literally a pile of tires, vinyl records and bowling balls. As a teacher I gain much more inspiration and encouragement from the more talented high school artists. While I might go again someday I would wait until at least the Spring of 2015 when all of the current displays are gone.

The BAM features nearly 100% modern/contemporary art, and as far as that goes I have to be honest: some works make me roll my eyes; others are so clever I can’t get over it. Bottom line, I appreciate creativity so I’ll seek that out and see what I think. It's hard to rate this museum for all time because it seemed that most everything on display was a temporary exhibit. Had I been here months ago, I might have rated this a 5 ... or a 1. Fortunately, there were enough interesting pieces to keep me there for a little while.My favorites were the Alexander Calder mobiles (always amazing) and the giant “angle of repose” sculpture by Gail Grinnell. Out in the garden, the “dresses” by Crystal Gough were whimsical and creative. Besides those, I just did a quick “walk by” viewing.The museum is small, so one does not have to budget much time to see everything. Just get a floor plan, make one circuit, then maybe go back and see your favorites again. You can see the whole place in less than an hour. General admission = $6, not too steep. Good news is that membership in the North American Reciprocal Museums program gets you in for free.Bummer policy: photography (flash or not) is prohibited both inside the museum and in the sculpture garden.

I happened to be there on a "free" admission day and expected to it to be jammed with visitors. It was very peaceful and one was able to view the art leisurely. There was an interesting collection displayed.

When I visited with my friends we spent twice as much time as expected viewing the interesting collection of permanent and temporary works. Of note is the installation by Gail Grinnell' as well as the collection of early twentieth century works.

The art is modern, and some of it always "gets" to me. Children could do the same thing. However, there were some creative, interesting things. I can appreciate much of the work, but I won't go back. I will say the building is interesting, they built a new front on an old building, and you can see front of the old structure, and its great doors. They also have a really lovely little gift shop there, I think you could purchase from it without even seeing the museum. Nice thoughtful items.
