| - I had to wait a few days to write my review of the Phoenix Art Museum because I thought I would be able to process everything I saw during a recent visit. I was wrong. I think I need to go back again and again because there is so much to take in... it was my first visit but it certainly won't be my last.
They have so many amazing exhibits and the 4 stories hold so many diverse pieces, i was literally in awe during my tour. Shout out to Mark P and a huge thank you for walking me through your second home! I don't even know where to begin, but a few of my favorite areas were the sculpture garden (it's manicured perfectly), the fashion design collection (I learned about the real meaning of 'couture') and the contemporary art collection (specifically 'Mass' made of burnt wood, wire, and string as well as the mirrored, sound proof, LED lighted room (talk about getting lost in time). There is so much more that I'll have to go back to see more of and the exhibits are constantly changing...
Phoenix Art Museum also offers a ton of events and activities including films, workshops, demonstrations, and discussions. There is also a really great area for the kids and teens as well as an Arcadia Farms on the premises. Next year they will be celebrating their 50th anniversary, so I'm sure there will be plenty more unique festivities around that as well... don't wait to go though, go now! I had no idea what I was missing out on until I went - you should too!
