Free admission! Granted, we really shouldn't complain about museum admissions. They usually need the money and it's going towards a good cause. But the whole "free" thing did attract me, and I've been trying to expand my cultural side lately, so I wandered inside. Glad I did.
The layout of this museum is interesting. You go down to enter and up to make your loop. Well-utilized space, for sure. While wandering around I seem to have interrupted several photo shoots, so I must have not been the only person who found the surroundings pretty cool. The exhibits themselves were what you would expect at a University. Contemporary... pushing the limits and lamenting on the sad state of the world. I appreciate the artistic vision but I will admit several parts elicited a smirk. Still, really nice galleries, and I love that they have this resource for students and locals to enjoy.
Definitely check out this museum if you are looking for a quick excursion near ASU. Watch out for the overzealous security guard who may insist you are trespassing or violating some kind of rule (not sure what he was trying to nab me for as I walked from one exhibit to the next). Regardless, I'll be back to check out new exhibits in the future!
