Phoenix Art Museum

With the grand opening of its recent $50 million expansion, Phoenix Art Museum has re-invented the museum experience, with activities and pleasures for all the senses. One of the nation's leading art museums, it is a popular valley oasis with unique and stunning exhibitions of the world's best art, casual and fun events and activities, Movies at the Museum, Music at the Museum, video and light installations, an MP3 audio guide to the art, great shopping and dining, a one-acre sculpture garden and many comfortable architectural niches where one can just relax and rejuvenate.

Imagine spending an afternoon with Monet, Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe, then shopping in The Museum Store for that perfect gift, and topping it off with lunch or a pastry in Art Museum at Arcadia Farms Cafe. There's fun for the whole family in the interactive PhxArtKids Gallery, and imaginations run wild in the historic interiors of the Thorne Miniature rooms. With a collection of over 17,000 works of American, Asian, European, Latin American, Modern and Contemporary, and Western American art, there's something for every taste at Phoenix Art Museum.

    Beautiful photography in black and white and in color. I especially love the bird series, the trees and the meadow series that she created.

    I merely went to see the old scrolls and fragments, but I got so much more. The St. John's Bible blew me away. No photo does it justice. Stunning. Beautiful in its own right, it surprised me in an art form we see so little. What a great find! Don't miss it. The old manuscripts convey the depth and history of many cultures that have carried art and scripture next to our ancestors' bosoms so that they could pass down these torches of civilization to us. I was in awe; when it was time to go, I couldn't. I turned around and went through the exhibit again. Don't miss the Syriac Peshitta and Coptic manuscripts nor the steps involved in getting European versions to the printing press. Beyond the thrill of the artwork and the profundity of this exhibition's message, I walked away, eventually, with a sense of the piety from a couple millennia. Many thanks to Phoenix Art Museum and the collectors who lent us this view extending from ancient Mesopotamia to the dazzle of post-modern illumination. Collapse
