Seattle Art Museum

Very nice permanent collection. Selections from heavy hitters while dedicating considerable space to Pacific Northwest style art . Great balance.

Loved the mythical section where you can find several paintings of Venus, Zeus and Cupid. Also the Egyptian, French and Roman sections are really good. I'm definitely going back to that museum .

I went to the Yayoi Kusama exhibition and it was the best, the staff was so nice and helpful with me that I would come to Seattle just for that 11/10 they made my day by selling the last ticket!

Amazing variety of exhibits . Also the price of your ticket can be applied to membership OR you can go to the Asian Art Museum for free within 7 days of SAM trip.

Amy Sherald to Henri Matisse, and everything in between. Overall, small, but diverse. Art from nearly every time period and locale, focused on PNW and social justice. Free every first Thursday.

Andy Warhol exhibit is perfect. Great space. Wonderful art . Take a nice stroll with a grind or by yourself. Don't forget to ask for the student discount .

Ogle everything from Northwest coastal art , to African and Asian works, to a new porcelain room in the bright and airy, internationally renowned space

Beautiful exhibits - including a piece by Warhol. Very large collection. Easy to spend 2+ hours here. Right by Pike Place too!

NYCers: dual members and up of the Whitney get in for free. Always interesting rotating exhibitions . The Cai-Guo Qiang piece in the lobby is mesmerizing

Not an earth shattering permanent collection, but well curated, and a fantastic space. They tend to bring in some great visiting shows.

We dare you to count the number of Dale Chihuly glass sculptures in the museum . Then go to the outdoor sculpture garden and find out the name of the large Chihuly in the middle of the garden .

Don’t touch the art ! ❤️

Park @ 3rd and Stewart garage & ask the front counter for a voucher--$8 for 4 hours & it's only a 10 minute walk. Not day-of-the-week sensitive, good whenever.

Go on the first Thursday of each month for free, then hit up the other galleries in Pioneer Square for Seattle's Art Walk

Go see this painting in the modern art section. It's like modern Impressionism.

Did you know? The Hammering Man at the entrance to SAM is one of many such sculptures celebrating "the worker." The artist has similar Men in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Los Angeles, and New York. Read more

Definitely worth stopping in. Has a wide variety of art - something for everyone!

SAM's impressive variety of art collections and exhibitions is an easy way to kill a few hours.

Wonderful Native American art . Well-curated exhibits . Worth several hours strolling through.

This is an absolutely beautiful museum . It is very spacious and the art is awesome!

If you only want to see the permanent exhibition , the admission is a suggested donation/pay what you wish (not written anywhere in pricing info).

Calming gallery . Relaxing. Hit weird with the pricing. Supposedly free but they ask you to buy a ticket with a donation!!

Internationally recognized for its excellent collection of Asian , African and Native American art and for its fine collection of modern art produced by Pacific Northwest artists .

Hammering Man, the famous kinetic sculpture in front, is the setting of the final scenes of the YA novel Tokyo Heist by Diana Renn. Learn more at http://www.dianarenn.net/

Browse the diverse, eclectic collection of Asian , African, Northwest Coast Native American and modern/contemporary art for which this post-modern structure is internationally known. #seemoresights

Quite nice. Try the cafe . Amazing ancient art .

Good small sized museum with a collection worth exploring for the afternoon.

Unusual comparative curatorial approach. Fascinating pacific northwest collections and representative collections worldwide.

The Picasso Exhibition is amazing. Order tickets online 2 get your desired time slot. Get in line 20 minutes before so you'll be the first one through in your group!!!

On the way out, they'll give you a free pass if you fill out their 5-min survey. The pass will be sure to expire before their next special exhibition , though. Smart...

The future beauty exhibit was fantastic! Go when there are public tours 1pm and 2pm- very good experience!

Free admission every day if you go first to the nearby Seattle library and check out an admission pass.

The membership pays for itself after two visits in a year. Do it!

Really neat Native American section upstairs with beautifully wood carved pieces

It’s nice. However, the descriptions are placed too far away from the artworks. Hard to find, and difficult to inspect the work while learning about it.

Take your used SAM ticket over to the awesome Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM) for free entrance on the same day! Art galore!

love the 2nd level of rotating contemporary art...last time i was there i found david robbin's 'talent' from 1986 #fabulous.

Vote for the Seattle Arts Museum as one of Seattle’s top landmarks & enter to win a trip to the Galapagos Islands ! bit.ly/xzqs7i #seemoresights

Visit for free certain days every month if you are a Bank of America's customers.

Free on the first Thursday of each month!

Check out the Elles: Women Artists from the Centre Pompidou, Paris exhibit . It's a great show of women artists .

Enjoy great exhibitions and native art

Obvious tourist stop but well worth it. Also, your ticket to SAM gets you entry into SAAM!

This an excellent although not a spectacular museum .

Check out the aboriginal art on the fourth floor.

Aboriginal art exhibits and Pilchuck glass pieces - super cool

It's a great place, there are ones that are much better though.

Exceptional Art Gallery with come really interesting ideas on providing information - pity they are closed Monday/Tuesday Read more

The Italian Room is my favorite place in Seattle.

Great way to spend a rainy afternoon in Seattle downtown.
