    Amazing and unusual museum. Featured exquisite furniture, lighting and pottery. Definitely worth the visit when you're in Saint Petersburg. Their cafe is also a nice place to relax and have a tasty treat after viewing the beautiful 5 story museum.

    We have been anticipating the opening of this museum for"years" and we were not disappointed. One of a kind exsisite pieces that are displayed in a tasteful and informative manner. Even if you aren't into the genera at least some of the pieces will take your breath away. Loved it, and thank you Rudy. .

    Beautiful museum dedicated to the Arts and Crafts movement. Lots of pottery, paintings, furniture, and light fixtures that are wonderfully laid out. Also loved how spacious the set up was; so much room to move and no one was on top of each other. My new favorite museum in St. Petersburg… I can’t wait to go back!

    Beautiful museum. 4 floors of galleries, from paintings to furniture. Great selection on everything Art’s and Crafts. Just come over to visit, take pictures or just draw. Worth the price.

    The Art That is Life. Everywhere I look I see miracles. On this day I challenged myself to notice. Just notice without judgment. This esquiste collection highlights a time like no other. Colorful, conscious collections. Take the time to envelop yourself in the beauty of this miraculous space. I can't help but wonder what is it like to be surrounded by such beauty in everyday life. Is it noticed? Or not? Overlooked? Expected? Or even demanded? Fun questions to ponder while giving gratitude for those who share their talents with the world. 🙏🙏🙏

    Beautiful Arts & Craft era museum in a stunning modern building. Open 1 week, well organized staff, security and exhibits. I’m from the Midwest and glad to see the Chicago and Milwaukee influence well represented. Nice cafe, restaurant to open in November, great city views, garden. Accessible elevator, rest areas.

    Exquisite museum. They have an amazing collection of pieces from tiles, lamps, furniture, etc but even the architecture of the building itself is stunning. It unfortunately closes earlier than most other museums at 4pm so get there early because you'll definitely need at least several hours to see it all. I also love that there are bathrooms and water fountains on every floor and a decent number of benches everywhere. This is now one of my favorite museums in St. Pete.

    Toured the newest addition to St Petersburg on 2nd day after it opened. Fantastic collection of furniture, lighting, pottery of the period 1890-1940. The Arts Cafe served delicious food and the gift shop will be this Christmas go to.

    One of the most incredible museums I have ever toured. Spent four hours taking in every floor of exhibits and thoughtfully displayed collection pieces from this era. Beautifully designed building and tasty, reasonably priced museum cafe. If you are in the St. Pete area, highly recommend.

    First off, the architecture of the museum is amazing inside and out. The pieces on display and the bios of the artists and designers helped to broaden my understanding of the arts and crafts movement. There is so much more than just furniture (my favorite)! This is a gem in the greater Tampa area. The food at the Arts Cafe was delicious and reasonably priced. Parking garage on site as well.

    These are not your grandma's arts and crafts. No crocheted doll toilet paper roll covers here! Instead you will find artisan made stained glass, pottery, furniture, tile, and much more. As if that isn't enough to lure you in, the beautifully designed interior is not to be missed. We didn't have time to stop for lunch, but I'm told the on-site restaurant is quite good. This is my new "must see" for out of town guests.

    This is a very complete and unique museum you won’t find anywhere else. From craftsman furniture to paintings of that era, there is something for everyone. Easy parking and if you get a duel membership for $100, you can go all year and bring a guest.

    This is one of St. Petersburg's finest museums, showcasing the Arts and Crafts movement. The displays are stunning, and well arranged. There is a generous amount of furniture, artwork, and architectural detail (think fireplaces and stained glass). Entrance is a bit high at $25 per adult, but there is a family membership of $100 that will allow you access for a year. The gift shop is magnificent, and the quality and prices are commensurate. Don't miss. Highly recommend.

    It is amazing how beautifully this very modern building is the perfect showcase for an impressive collection of arts and crafts items. We started from the top (5th) floor and the display of a room with Stickley furniture and worked our way through tiles, pottery, stained glass lamps, and furniture. The cafe had a great and reasonably priced selection for lunch and the museum shop was is great representation of the exhibits.

    Very enjoyable visit!! First trip to this museum and can't wait to return. Each exhibit is wonderfully displayed and with enough room for several people to peruse and enjoy.

    Wow! Fantastic drawings, paintings, stained glass, furniture, tiles and so much more. I could have spent 3 hours exploring, viewing and reading about the artisans, craftsmen, and medium. This is a must see museum.

    I was skeptical about this museum but, I was happily surprised that it exceeded my expectations. Upon entering you see a long reception desk, a gift shop, and a Cafe (which is averagely priced $$). 4 Floors total had a mixture of art and architecture. The art ranged but not limited to watercolor, woodblock prints, oil and cyanotype. As for the architecture it ranged but not limited to from lamps, vases, cabinets, and tiles. We spent a total of 2 hours and really took our time appreciating each piece. There was also a little fun space where you were able to do an art exercise where they have a still life display available and you could create your own piece. Overall I would recommend this for any sort of day date considering it has everything one needs within the museum also affordable parking a minute away from the museum.

    Incredibly disappointed unfortunately. I went into the museum excited to see what they offer as I am a frequent visitor to the other museums in the area. I’ll start by saying that the museum and structure itself is beautiful. They did an incredible job with the space. It is very welcoming and well executed. The content however leaves more than a lot to be desired. If you read that they had a children’s gallery, do not be deceived, there is next to nothing there for little ones. Titling a section of the museum “Children’s Gallery” is nothing short of misleading and couldn’t be further the truth. Almost a “bait and switch” type of title. Save your time and money by going to one of the other museums in the area. If you are into antique furniture the absolutely check this place out, they have a collection like none other I’ve seen. But that is completely it. There is nothing else stimulating and nothing that resembles “arts and crafts”. It is all furniture.

    Five floors of Arts and Crafts. The 4th floor with the decorative tile and pottery was my favorite. The parking is a $1 an hour in an adjacent garage. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked pretty good. If you look in my photos you will find a menu. I did not find the audio guide on the app that easy to use, but others were using it.

    The Museum first opened one year ago and it is a World Class Museum in Downtown St. Petersburg.The museum’s exhibitions and architecture are absolutely amazing. The Cafe was lovely.

    Spent a couple of hours here at the St Petersburg MAACM. Fantastic museum that I highly recommend. It turned out to be one of my favorite museums that I have visited anywhere. As for Saint Petersburg, this museum not only rivals the Dali, but surpasses it in many ways. The building itself architecturally is phenomenal. It's worth just to see it structurally. It's open, airy, with beautiful lines and texture. Yes, I'm talking about the building! The exhibits are well curated. The art and furniture are beautifully presented and spaced so you can enjoy each piece. The furniture, lamps, photographs, tiles, and art capture all aspects of this movement. It's a comprehensive collection. The works are intentionally and smartly set up. The large lettered information panels are both informative and easy to read (no squinting). Why don't more museums present this way? I especially appreciated how ahead of its time this movement's works were. The use of tiles, glass, and wood still speaks to contemporary times. And notice how many women are featured as well. Afterwards we enjoyed coffee at their terrific coffee shop and relaxed in their contemporary couches. This is a must see museum (and not just for St Petersburg, but any museum anywhere). What a credit to the City and to arts in general. Note that admission is not cheap ($25), but they do offer discounts to select groups. No matter what, it's worth it.

    This is incredible museum. The collection is outstanding and the building is an architectural masterpiece! If you are in St Pete you MUST go.

    This museum is housed in a bespoke, truly amazing, building. There is an adjacent, equally beautiful, parking garage. The exhibits are interesting and very well presented. Beautiful gift shop. We didn't get to check out the cafe as they had to chase us out at closing as it was. Next time!

  • 5/5 Richard T. A. 6 months ago on Google
    Well worth the visit! Wonderfully curated collection of A&C items. A stunning collection of furniture, lamps, tiles, and copper pieces. Very clean, great selection and price points in the museum store. The Martin House in Buffalo, NY would love to welcome it's original window back home. The art glass displays just do not do the windows justice outside of their intended settings.

    This interesting museum covers an important time of design development that was critical to the development of a uniquely American architectural and furnishing style. Take the elevator to the top and walk down, even though that presents a reversed chronological order. The gift shop is worth a visit, even if you don't take in the exhibits.

    This place is great! Highly recommend paying a visit. The architecture of the building is well done. We visited on a Sunday and it was peaceful and quiet. We spent several hours walking through the well laid out exhibits.

  • 5/5 Gigi K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the nicest museum experience I’ve ever had! The security and staff were top notch! The architectural design of the museum was a serene flow so people were able to spend time looking at each area.

  • 5/5 Connie T. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a gorgeous museum in downtown St. Petersburg. It's a must stop when looking for something different to do and very relaxing.
