Reviews

Awesome museum came to see art for a school project. The whole family enjoyed very affordable and educational thing to do in spokane. It was quiet and full of amazing artwork. Easy stay for hours looking at art.. they even had interactive activities. There was an exhibit on Louis Comfort Tiffany's Artworks.definitely recommend visiting.

I love coming here! The exhibits are always well put together for easy self-guided exploration. I especially love the exhibits with Spokane area and Native American history. The traveling exhibits are also always excellent; today it was all about Dreamworks Animation. A few years ago it was The Titanic. And as a bonus, the historic Campbell House next door is included in the admission.

I try to come several times a year, depending on the featured exhibit. If you get a chance to see the Campbell House with a guided tour, I recommend it. Then go back at your leisure to take it all in at your own pace. First full weekend of of each month is free for certain bank card holders; good for a discount, bad that it gets crowded.
