I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. No photography and no drinks. A lot of rules for a meager handful of artwork. Special exhibit on shoes was the only highlight. My student id got me in for only 3 dollars. Not worth your time. I did get a nice nutcracker for half off that's about it.

The first time I went here was to see native son Matthew Barney explain the Cremaster cycle. Since he rarely speaks publically, I was pretty thrilled to be at the museum.
I went back a second time the last time I was in Boise, not for a special event or anything, and they had a cool exhibit on Frank Lloyd Wright's home furnishing line.
The museum has both rotating and permanent exhibits, and is a lot cooler then what you might expect from an Art museum in Boise. If you find yourself hanging out in Boise, this Museum is worth a visit. -

This place is small, but beautiful nonetheless.
I prefer this over the historical museum across the street.
I think this was the first place I witnessed Georgia O'Keeffe's painting back in 2005. It was an amazing experience for me. The dim lighting and casual mood of the museum enhanced my experience. -

The Boise Art Museum has a special place in my heart. I had some of my art featured at their annual Beaux Arts Societe Holiday Sale several years ago. Shortly after my art was displayed here, my college art professor, Hung Liu, held an exhibit of her work at the museum. This was years after I graduated from college, and I had no idea that her paintings were being featured. It was a nice surprise, yet also a strange coincidence. I was also fortunate enough to see an amazing Dale Chihuly exhibit here. I felt honored to share the same art space as these internationally acclaimed artists.

If you can keep in mind that you are in Boise, and not a big city like New York City, you should enjoy the Boise Art Museum. What I mean by that is that you should not expect to see a huge selection of art by world renowned artists. They have a pretty steady rotation of exhibits and they keep the place spotless. They also have a great interactive area for children should you bring them along. I have enjoyed my visits and would not hesitate to return.

When I travel I always like to check out art museums in smaller cities. This museum is a real treasure. I wouldn't say go all the way to Boise for it, but check it out if you're there. The shows they get are definitely big city caliber. I saw the Katy Stone exhibit and a show called Sweepings - both were outstanding.
