I didn’t visit the museum but took the Saarinen House tour, which began right outside of the museum. It was led by Elena, a highly knowledgeable and well-versed guide, which I’ve mentioned in my review of the house. The architecture of the museum & library is truly stunning, whether you’re standing right below the roof or looking at it from the other end of the pond. It was raining when we visited but the gardens and buildings looked so beautiful in the rain! I would love to come back to visit the museum and Cranbrook House!

This is place is a really great place to check out revolving art exhibits. Went for the student show and was not disappointed at all.

Amazing place. First time and I want to go back! Learned so much.

Absolute gem of a campus. Nothing like it! I absolutely plan on coming back in the spring for a photo walk.

Beautiful campus! Exhibits were very interesting and unique.

On the snaller side but I loved the exhibition that they had. Think it was 10 bucks

Most awesome visit. Everyone is so nice and helpful! Gabrielle at the concession was very nice and very knowledgeable ! Will come back many times! So much to see and do!

Gorgeous campus with beautiful facilities. The entrance is tucked away in the back. Parking is limited so be careful when planning your trip. Plenty of open trails to walk in the surrounding woods and explore the fountains. Science/History museum nearby.

We had a fantastic time at the Cranbrook Art Museum! Such a nice place to stop. Beautiful art and great indoor and outdoor pieces! Highly recommend

Amazing collection. Great contemporary works and their MFA student gallery is awesome.

First time going to Cranbrook Art Museum was really great. Enjoyed all exhibits and especially liked the people throughout the museum who have additional information to share readily. That absolutely made the visit fantastic! I really enjoyed learning about the artists and their works in depth! Great experience - I am glad I joined as a member!

Always the best place to visit. Enter a world of beauty!

Very well curated small museum situated in a middle of a local architectural and landscape marvel. The current exhibition, "Skilled Labour" is definitely worth seeing. It is mostly large canvases, masterfully crested by local artists. Impressive. We usually visit Cranbrook a quite a few times a year, usually not in the winter, but I have to say it definitely unlocked a different level of beauty to this remarkable estate.

It is part of the prestigious Cranbrook Private School. One of the two- three prestigious private schools in Detroit. Inside a sprawling 300 acre campus which has this Co-educational School, you have the Art Museum and the Science Museum. This is a small museum. We came away impressed. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a small museum on the beautiful grounds of a campus: elementary and secondary schools, plus the Art Institute offering advanced degrees. I don't know for sure, but judging from our single visit - a one-woman show - preference might be given to alums. This would not be a problem, given the quality of the work at this exhibit. If I lived in the area, I'd for sure be a member and visit frequently

We went to a family day on a Saturday with grandparents and four kiddos. The exhibitions were very nice, and the kid activities were okay, but I kind of expected a little more from the Cranbrook for a family day. They had a minigolf which looked like fun, but definitely not worth the extra $16 per adult to play!

Great first time experience

Very small exhibit area ( only took twenty minutes to walk through) but some neat art on display. There was so much more to see in the area, but we ran out of time.

Every time I've been to the museum, I've seen wonderful art that I wouldn't have seen anywhere else. The descriptive signs and videos of the artists are very informative. A feast for the eyes and mind.

It's a beautiful, tranquil, and best of all free place to take a stroll with friends/family any day of the week or time of the year!

Well, there are interesting pieces of art here. It is tiny, which I like, and worth a lovely bit of your life.

Wonderful exhibit and information on Ruth Adler Schnee. Brilliant, talented, boundary pusher in multi fields of work, not just her award winning textiles.

This was by far out of this world, Michigan has a gem, this art museum was such a wonderful place that would take anyone in a journey thru the ages, am soo glad i got to spent a day here, is the perfect place to spend a day out of all the outside stress, tho the museum was closed due to a water damage, the surroundings where still worth the time, i invite people to go and enjoy this wonderful place, is worth it, is gorgeous and most of it free :))) 1 thing : enjoy your time to anyone who goes there :))

Partially closed, changing exhibits, but the grounds were astonishing and the employees courteous.

Lovely museum, small in size. The entirety of it can be seen in about an hour or hour and a half.

Love the museum. People are always friendly and helpful. Space is perfect size for a one day trip. Some of the best exhibitions!

Cranbrooks summer mini golf is a MUST GO!! We went to enjoy the artist created 11 hole mini golf course. Inspired by locations events and even concepts the eleven holes are very original. Each hole gives you a little history about the creator and the creation, and even a helpful hint on the hole. Very fun for the whole family. $15 pp covers golf and entry to the museum which you can use the same day or any day after.

The art museum on its own is a nice attraction... But the four stars reflect the inclusion of the grounds and the artwork contained there as well. May want to see what exhibits are currently on display as that will greatly influence your opinions.

Great experience! Open artists' studios (with artists). Museums of Art and Science and Saarinen House and Gardens. ALL FREE! Very interesting to meet and talk to young artists! Food trucks. Staff friendly and helpful.

It's a small little place inside. They have tons of modern art on display.

Played mini golf in the garden. Very nice!

Unique, tremendous art viewing experience. My favorite art museum for Detroit regional themes. Every bit worth the trip.

Best thing about going to Cranbrook are the well maintained grounds. The art museum on the other hand cost like $15 just to get in and doesn't hold a candle to the DIA. Haven't been in the science museum yet but I am guessing again that it pales in comparison to the Detroit Science Center.

Just beautiful

Fun enough, but the cost seems a bit high when you could go to the DIA and see established artists and even older works. Definitely more contemporary if that's your style! The Eye of Horus by B. Durden made the entire trip worth it for me.

So peaceful

(Translated by Google) Great learning environment, this is the place to study the talented international students and the owner of the world in the future. Thank you to the teachers and staff at Cranbrook. (Original) Môi trường học tập tuyệt vời , đây là nơi học tập những học sinh tài năng quốc tế và là chủ nhân của thế giới trong tương lai. Cảm ơn các thầy cô và các nhân viên của trường Cranbrook.

We played miniature golf here and it was awesome! The sculptures were so cute. The wait wasn’t too bad. We have been to the art museum several times and it’s always interesting. There have been some exhibits I feel were a little bare.

A very beautiful and interesting place to visit.

We visited during the student art exhibit and it was absolutely wonderful. I found it to be equally as enriching as a visit to the DIA. It was awe inspiring to see such beautiful and top caliber work from local artists and students. The campus is beyond beautiful as well. It would be awesome if they could duplicate this environment and opportunity within the city of Detroit. There is so much untapped talent at both the high school and collegiate level that unfortunately is not exposed to opportunities like this. The Marygrove campus would be perfect ❤️

Excellent

The outside has beautiful sceneries and a nice trail which is free! To go inside the museum, tickets are relatively cheap ($8 for adults) but honestly there isn't a lot to see. Service was spot on though!

It's cool

Great little museum. Not crowded.

Interesting place. Not what I'd expected. I'm more into sculptures and oil paintings. Docents were friendly and answered my many questions. The most fun I had was enjoying the sculptures on the grounds. Handicap accessible doors off one of the parking lots.

Friendly staff and a small, but cool, museum. I think it's primarily art by students, but with some traveling exhibitions.

A must see! I was totally inspired!

Failed to find a way to get inside but did some hiking around the museum. Pretty good place for hiking as well.

Went through museum. Wasn't impressed. Kind of cliche and sparse. No great works. More of a student center and modern stuff.

Beautiful museum and they were super helpful and friendly.

There was nothing wrong with the museum. The indoor art was a little out there (even one of the workers said a lot of the art made no sense to her). Maybe it's just me and that I dont understand how to appreciate art. But, I will digress. The outdoor art was a bit better though it was very cold and we didnt stay long. The picture is of my favorite piece from indoors.

Beautiful to see an high school with such a character, and an open view into the multiple faces of society

Awesome memories!!!

I mean it's such a small museum to be charged to enter. Literally took us 10 minutes not even. But it's nice to see new things.

Crazy beautiful grounds & buildings, statues, on an amazing fall day led into a very well curated set of exhibits, including many alumni. With a visual disability, having an aural soundscape from some of the work made the time deeper and more meaningful. Well done!

Beautiful!

Love this place. The grounds around the museum are amazing. There is fountains and pools all over the place. The museum has a great collection and always host terrific exhibitions. Also the archives at the museum are a must see. They might be even cooler than the museum exhibitions.

Only one floor due to the pandemic but still enjoyed it

Always love the art museum

great place for adventure

It was fun my students really enjoyed it

Boring

On the smaller side yet very impressive.

The exhibit was fantastic!

Nice

Great

Beautiful campus

Very small and sparse. Disappointing. The Flint Museum has much more!

Very informational and the staff was friendly

(Translated by Google) Attentive staff and a great space for sightseeing, even if you don't go to the museum. It's worth going to admire the architecture and artwork on the outside. (Original) Funcionários atenciosos e um ótimo espaço para passeio, mesmo se não for ao museu. Vale a pena ir pra admirar a arquitetura e as obras de arte na parte externa.

The grounds and fountains are just beautiful;a hidden gem for sure

Beautiful place, i work here

I had no idea this was here. It was very enjoyable.
