You can really feel the connection to Utah's cultural history, which makes it stand out from larger, more generic museums. The building itself is stunning--Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with peaceful courtyards and quiet corners to sit and take in the art. It's not overwhelming in size, but theres plenty to see and the rotating exhibits are always interesting and well done. Staff and volunteers are friendly, and the whole place feels very welcoming. Great spot for art lovers, families, or anyone looking for a quiet, reflective experience. They also are a perfect venue for wedding receptions. Easily worth a stop if you're anywhere near Springville or Provo. Also, back in the day when I was in the BYU Russian & German Choirs, we performed here a few times. Not sure if they still do that, but if so, you might just stumble into a surprise concert mid-gallery stroll. Nothing like quietly admiring a landscape painting while 20 students suddenly start singing in Russian or German behind you. It can be equal parts beautiful and mildly disorienting--but in a good way.

Seeing a liger in person completely blew my mind since I honestly thought that was something made up for Napoleon Dynamite. The whole museum is engaging without feeling overwhelming, and the fact that it's entirely free makes it even more impressive. It's one of those places that sneaks up on you and ends up being way more interesting than you expect.

It's nice because they'll allow kids to sketch the artwork not in the collection piece, for school as my son needed to for a school art project.

The collection leans heavily on modern and post-modern genres, which could be interesting if that's your preference. Overall, it's a decent place to spend an afternoon if you're in the area, but it's not necessarily a must-see destination for art enthusiasts.
