My family enjoyed walking around the art galleries. There are so many things to look at and best of all, it's free admissions. You can leave donations if wanted. I loved looking at the Medieval art galleries and the different parts of Asia art galleries. So many artifacts and they are gorgeous. I was very impressed by what they had on display from different parts of the world. It was lovely. There is a small gift shop (2 people allowed inside at a time), and the rest rooms are decent. We had our one year old in the stroller the whole time as there are some artifacts and art pieces that he could easily grab since they were not encased behind glass. Watch out for that. Masks are a requirement for entry. They do have hand sanitizer stations throughout. You will spend a very long time at this place. We will have to go back as we missed some of the exhibits. Also, 5 minutes walking distance is the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame if interested and inexpensive to get inside.

A beautiful museum with a huge collection of art. Admission was free and staff members were kind. They had really cool displays, not just European art, an incredible Native American art collection!! Bathrooms were accessible and clean. They have small folding chairs you can carry around for free. You can stop to look at specific pieces or just to take a quick break.

On this outing I was reminded of how much I love the museum! This exhibit was informative and full of with vibrant colors. I am a Yoga instructor so I am very appreciative of the work. I will definitely be returning to see this exhibit and others.

Beautiful art. Large space. 3 floors of eye-catching pieces (indoors and outdoors). Great for a family outing, an outing for two, or an outing by one's self. There's also a cute little gift shop.

Great museum though, at the time I went a lot of the rotating collections were being installed. Still, I really enjoyed the experience. The staff is friendly and professional and the building is beautiful. I really enjoyed the sculpture garden and Wedgwood collection. Definitely recommended if you're in Birmingham.

It was clean, the free admission was awesome. And I loved the fact that they had a charging station! It came in handy when my phone started to die while I was taking pictures! All the exhibits had plenty of information and The bathroom was clean. I definitely enjoyed my visit here and plan on coming back with my children in the future.

I don't go to Birmingham often, but when I do I try to schedule time to go to the museum. There's so many beautiful pieces woth unique stories behind them and is worth a shot to see. There's not many things to do in Alabama, but this is one you should do if you're in the area.

Must visit place if you are art lover or not. Huge collection of arts from all ancient times until now. Excellent facility and extremely well maintained. Amazed by the quality of art and the evolution over the ages. Couldn't restrict how people imagined and created such mesmerizing arts when the so-called modern technologies were not present. Must appreciate the museum authorities for the collection of arts and the way they maintain it. Will visit again and again for sure.

Lovely collection, friendly staff. The Wedgewood collection as well as African pottery was really interesting. It took me by surprise. I sell a lot of pottery and you'd think I'd not want to see a bunch of it on a day off, but it was so well done it really captivated me. Thank you for your hard work. Beautiful collection.

Great place to check out while hopping around downtown Birmingham.

I was greeted promptly upon entering, she gave me all the info I needed. There is no cost of admission. This is a small museum but I was impressed with the variety of displays!

Lovely place to go and enjoy for free. Great for day date or for family. Pack snacks and you can stop and eat them at the seating area inside or in the garden if the weather is nice. My only complaint is that it was very warm when we went this past weekend. A thermostat we saw said 72 degrees... When walking through exhibits it seems even warmer than that. I do wish there were more modern exhibits.

I would encourage more people to dial it down a bit and take the time to enjoy the sights. There's beautiful works of art here, free admission and you just might learn something in the process.

Amazing historical art. I don't know if I would call this an art museum alone, I would say it's more of historical/cultural art, but art none the less. Definitely a must see

I love this place there's such beautiful artwork and there is even videos in the exhibits explaining things like the making of pottery in cultures around the world there is even a child's scavenger hunt the tour is self guided and so much fun

A wonderful museum in downtown Birmingham with easy street parking, free entry, and a lot of different pieces of artwork from a wide range of time periods. Loved the variety in European, Asian, and African artwork. I wish they had artwork from Latin America, but honestly there was way more art than I initially expected!

Always love coming here! Unlike other art museums where staff members are always monitoring you, this one has a more inviting atmosphere and doesn't create the perception you're "always being watched". The cultural variety they have to offer is one of my favorite parts of this art museum

Free parking and free entry! Many different exhibitions on display. A nice way to spend an afternoon!

Love the huge variety of art styles. The Wedgewood display is beautiful.

This art museum was so fun and beautiful. There is a large variety of work that could be enjoyed for days! We love the kids section which has tons of great activities for children to simulate their creativity. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. Parking is a very convenient. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly impressed with this collection in an unassuming location. Beautiful artwork, heavier on the pottery and household items than most art museums, but still plenty of excellent painted art. Best of all, entry is free!

Excellent small art museum. Admission and parking is free. Free parking is a relatively small lot so expect to be flexible during busy weekends or events. Extensive Wedgewood collection.

Insanely great art museum for the ridiculous price of free with free parking too. Buy something at the gift shop at least!! Great collection of works from every era and style. Monet, Pissaro, Remington ,Ansel Adams, beirstadt and on and on. Get some culture and get inspired to create.

My wife and I enjoyed a date to the museum. The special exhibit Redline was sobering—drawing attention to the continuing impact of a decades old policy. Enjoyed seeing art by some of our favorite artists as well as iconic pieces that we were delighted to see “in person” so to speak. Didn’t have a chance to eat there but look forward to the idea of a dinner date.

A wonderful place to see a sweet collection. :D

A very nice, clean and well maintained museum. A great place to learn about different cultures and of course see some art.

This Museum is so very much worth the visit. Tons of incredible art in every nook and cranny with hidden gems around every corner. Its free, the staff are knowledgeable and kind, and the art, both modern and vintage are amazing. Take a few hours out of your day and treat yourself to the Birmingham Museum of Art!

Very impressive collection of American and European work. The museum is so large that I did not even have time to do anything except walk through the fabulous artwork (Asian, African, Native American, pre Columbian, and Wedgwood) on the second floor. Free admission and free parking. This place is a treasure that Birmingham should be proud of. Recommended.

This was a interesting place. Myself and my two boys had not ever been to an art museum before. I'd like to tell you about the art but I don't know a thing about art. I can tell you there are a lot of interesting pieces. Plus it was free to get into.

Small musuem with the best collection of Wedgewood pottery. It tries to be comprehensive, with art galleries featuring Far Eastern arts, American Indian arts, African arts, modern arts, and European/American art classics. A few pieces are spectacular but most items are not "masterpieces". It would be better if they could also use additional multimedia to tell stories behind the featured arts or expand the contemporary art section. Overall, it's a joy to visit for a couple of hours yearly.

In one word SPECTACULAR! My CFRD students were amazed from start to finish! They talked about the things they saw, the sculpture garden they explored in, and the in-studio art session, all the way home!

First time to visit this museum but was very impressed. Free to enter and several collections to enjoy and they even offered seats to those who walked to stop and enjoy the various pieces.

I love coming to this Art museum. It's an expensive trip with kids. There is so much to look at. I enjoyed shopping at their gift shop. I have a long sleeve shirt that I love to wear all year long. I can't wait to visit again when I'm back in Alabama. I'll be checking out what else they have to offer in their shop and any new art they have to show.

I really enjoyed every piece selection, I'm definitely going back to see another show.

Gem!

Always loved our museum. Really cool for a city this size.

My visit to the Birmingham Museum of Art was an enriching cultural experience during my time in the USA while pursuing a diploma in teaching at the University of Alabama. The museum's diverse collection of art spans centuries and continents, offering a remarkable journey through history and creativity. From captivating classical pieces to contemporary masterworks, there's something for every art enthusiast. The exhibitions and galleries were thoughtfully curated, and the museum's commitment to accessibility and education was evident. It's an excellent place to expand one's artistic horizons and appreciate the global artistry, making my visit a memorable and educational part of my stay in the United States.

Really nice and well-organised. Related artworks were organised chronologically in some areas which made it easier to follow the pieces and not get lost.

Its free to go, including both parking and admission. Donations are encouraged to help keep it free. It's well worth the trip to see the pieces on display. There's something special for everyone.

Largest collection of Wedgewood outside of England. Marvelous collection of Asian art. Free admission and parking. It's a CANT MISS in Bham!

The Art After Five was a nice family-friendly event. I'm looking forward to attending future events similar to this one.

I bring my toddler here when we need an indoor activity outside of our home. We enjoy looking at the variety of art they have on display. I can't wait for her to be able to try out the kid's area when it is safe.

My entire family enjoys going to here. The permanent collection is expansive and the temporary exhibits are always worth seeing. The parking lot makes for a convenient visit.

I love this museum

Great exhibit

I absolutely love visiting this place and Birmingham is so lucky to have it.

Loved everything about it. Will be going back again next year

Good museum

Very nice and clean. I enjoyed the exhibits.

Loved it!!!

Great place to visit!!

Loved the Museum

Beautiful Art. Glad to see and the gallery is free to visit.

A really great night. There's so much more than just paintings. You should definitely come if you have kids, they will love it! I love to learn and this museum is a fantastic place to do so.

There is always something interesting and intriguing in the Birmingham Museum of Art. Some of the worlds top exhibits have come through the doors and the visitors have the opportunity to view for free. Thats right there is no admission fee to the museum.

It's free. Has the largest Wedgewood collection and a very large african pottery exhibit.

This was a pretty nice place to visit. I wish there was more though. I think more paintings would be really cool, as well as a section on Egypt! There were A LOT of pottery items and little knickknacks that didn't interest me personally, but it was still cool to see. It wasnt very busy so I think Sunday's are a good time to go to avoid crowds.

A lot of different displays. Very informative, a lot to see. Bit confusing but each display has its own detailed description.

Great exhibits this month. Jacob Lawrence and the Clare Leighton are terrific to see.

A great place to go on a date. No entry fee, plenty of opportunities for conversation, and beautiful artwork.

Free entry. Clean environment. Great diversity of art from many different cultures over a wide range of history.

Nice

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

Great place to spend a Sunday.

Great outing on a rainy day.

Always a wonderful experience. So glad it is open again.

Incretable

Lived it

Very impressed. The American art wing alone is worth the visit. Remarkably inclusive. The country's most revered and trend-setting artists are represented..and they're "major" works. Also enjoy the Wedgewood collection and Indian artifacts.

Very clean and nice. There are some amazing pieces of art.

So much to see here! I swear you could spend two hours here! I am really impressed with the variety of art works they have. The whole layout feels well thought out.

Huge collections of art from all over and from all time periods, from 4500 years ago to last year, from global artists to local artists. Wish there was a little more from Egypt, the middle east, and South America. Nice outdoor area. Nice gift shop with souvenirs for all price ranges.

Beautiful experience

Vast and diverse collection. AMAZING!

The Jacob Lawrence "The American Struggle" exhibit is on display until February I enjoyed it.
