Do you have any interest in photography, architecture, painting, sculpture, interactive installations, printmaking or fashion design? How about handcrafted cheeses and Arizona boutique beers and wines? If even a single one of these strikes your fancy, you will definitely want to plan a trip to the Phoenix Art Museum. Boasting films, performances, demos, discussions, special events and activities just for kids, there truly is something for everyone. Be careful about planning a Monday or Tuesday trip, the museum isn’t open those days. A Sunday afternoon spent touring the galleries capped off by a casual lunch or coffee on the outdoor patio at the museum’s restaurant, Palette, is a popular way to spend a day at the Southwest United States’ largest art museum for visual art.

    This looks like a lot of fun and a great place to take Dad for Father’s Day.

    Love to get down to the museum every few months at least to see all the rotational exhibits. It is really easy to get to and a great weekend reprieve in the summer as it takes several hours to go through and is air conditioned. They have dedicated a whole section to photography.

    One of my favorite places to get out of the heat and enjoy a educational-fun filled afternoon with my kids!

    We caught a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit there a few weeks ago. We wandered around for hours, I couldn’t believe how big this place was. My favorite was probably the modern art exhibit, although my favorite piece was in the southwestern exhibit. There was this giant painting of the desert with a huge expanse of sky. The artist globbed on the paint, and you could just feel a monsoon forming in the atmosphere. This was probably the first painting I ever just stood there and studied.
