Great place to see a variety at a reasonable price (and it’s Free in Sundays thru 2021). Also enjoy the movies they offer.

This is a great museum with regularly rotating exhibits. I worked here back in 2009 and have been visiting ever since. The remodel makes me miss the museum that I grew up with but it turned out great and made room for bigger exhibits.

A fabulous and beautiful place to spend some valuable leisure time! I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. The Speed Cinema offerings are current one-of-a-kind Cannes Festival as well as other national and international award-winning faire! I was really impressed and I really enjoyed my visit there to see the uniquely visual "Loving Vincent" (Van Gogh) artistically-drawn movie and I plan to return quite often!

After Hours at the Speed is WAY too crowded. We are members. Got tix. Couldn't even get in to see the new exhibit. Please rethink this format.

Our first visit ever and I'm 71 years old. Great snack bar.

I have enjoyed the Speed Art Museum for over thirty five years. I have enjoyed classes, tours, dinners, exhibits and volunteering in the gift shop. Since they remodeled, I have visited the museum but not been as active as I have been in the past. The remodeled museum is gorgeous and was well worth the wait.

Women Artists in the Impressionist Age was spectacular! Art culled from 11 countries was inspiring and beautiful!
Tea and scones in the cafe was a real lift and delightful! Well done Speed Team!

Great weird museum with stuff all jumbled up together. A bit more expensive than it has to be but art is always worth it

Great museum. Free on Sundays. Expect to spend over 2 hours if you are truly interested in the art. If not, you can easily browse right through in less than 2 hours.

A beautiful place to visit. The collection without the special exhibitions is great. The addition of the theater is also good

"Women Artists in the Impressionist Age," is a must-see collection! It will be at the Speed through May 2018.

The renovated art museum has a great modern feel to it. Although many art exhibits showcase older art an many of the movies shown reflect on historical subjects, the atmosphere an architecture of the place make everything feel like new. Great place !

My daughter and I went on a field trip here with her class and had a great time. There were many hands on things for the kids to do that made them think. It was great seeing them try to figure out things.
We got to walk around looking at the different art and then got a tour guide who took us on a trip. The kids got passports that they marked in as they visited different pieces of art from around the world. My daughter showed hers to her dad and grandma and talked about what she learned there. Will definitely be going back (only next time with all the kids).

Amazing! The staff went above and beyond. I was there 3+hrs n still didn't see everything. This museum has such a vast array of are n exhibits and is massive. Very nice lay out.

Thoughtful, powerful, amazingly curated art museum. The community outreach of the Speed is generous. The children’s section for hands on art is great!

Wow they have changed their building and it's fantastic for a college owned art museum! I'm highly impressed with their offerings for summer camps for kids. Highly impressed also with the renovated building and extreme friendly staff. They have some gorgeous pieces that should not be missed! Their cafe is delicious. It's tranquil, sophisticated and inspirational.

I was glad they had the movie I wanted to see. It was not at any of the regular theatres. The theatre was nice and the museum was beautiful. Tickets were not very expensive.
The venue was nice. I just wish the people were a little more polite. I went to the gift shop after the movie and I asked the lady if there was a cover charge for the museum. Her response was literally, "We're closing in 10 minutes" and then she mumbled on about the rates on the different days. I honestly couldn't understand what she said about the prices.
I replied, " I just wondered because no one stopped me at the door." I really wanted to know how much it cost to get in but all this lady wanted to tell me is that they were closing.... But at least there were some nice people working there.

The new addition has made a good museum great. This collection is an assortment of artistic jewels, now with enough space to give them context and breathing room. The addition also affords space for special exhibits. The recent Picasso to Pollock was a delight. There's enough here to spend the day, but even if you only have an hour between meetings, you will find inspiration, beauty, and artistic range for every taste.

Quite a variety of interesting pieces. Lots of unique items you won't find anywhere else. I'm not sure why it is called Speed Art. We arrived with only one hour to peruse and we were rushed and still missed a lot. You definitely need a few hours if you like to read descriptions, pause at pieces and/or take photos (no flash photography ). I would definitely return. Note: Free on Sundays and accepts token donations. I recommend this place.

A wonderful treasure in the city, even more so since its $60 million renovation and expansion completed in 2017. Excellent collections and special exhibits, strong cinema program, good cafe. And thanks to a generous endowment, admission is free on Sundays. Well worth a visit and returns.
