This place is wonderful. I highly recommend everyone come here be they locals or visiting in from out of town. The staff - both student and permanent workers - all seem to enjoy their jobs, and were all incredibly warm, inviting, helpful, and generous in sharing their knowledge with my entire family (including my three kiddos!!!). I can’t say enough about how much I love having a museum like this here in Eugene.
I was very impressed with the quality of the exhibition and the friendly, knowledgeable docent who took the time to discuss the work of a featured artist with us. I discovered some new artists that have become some of my favorites. It's really a great museum and it far exceeded my expectations.
A great museum to visit, and admission is free if you’re a student! There’s a lot of modern art exhibits as well as several different Asian Art exhibits. We had a fun time coming here and it’s diffidently worth at least checking out if you can.
