Let me preface by saying that I'm in no way an art connoisseur, so my review is best targeted to the unpretentious museum goers out there. Simply put, I don't always "get" art. From my experience, most art museums can be a bit of a snoozer or a mixed bag. But believe it or not, nearly all of the Mint Museum was an enjoyable and entertaining experience.
The setting is modern and bright--its warm and welcoming ambiance will immediately capture your attention (unless you really, really prefer dusty, old museum settings). The craft + design and decorative art exhibits were definitely big highlights.
I won't lie...some of the art displayed made me think, "Hey, I could make that!" or "How did this even make it past the front door??" But having the chance to judge and be a silly art critic was all a part of the fun.
Oh, and did I mention the Mint Museum is FREE on Tuesday nights?? Can't beat that. But even if I had to pay the standard $10, it would still be worthwhile.
