Good art museum with a variety of exhibits, event spaces, and classrooms. I found multiple thought-provoking pieces on my visit there; good art should sometimes do that to its viewers.

I have always loved El Pasos art museum but the experience I had the last time I visited was exceptional. Having a security guard (I think this name was Isaiah) that knew about the art and showed interest in showing us around the art made it so much more interesting. You could tell he had worked there a long time and was not only interested in the art but wanted to show off the art to those viewing it as well. Its nice to see someone so cheerful an excited about their place of work.

I spent a good chunk of m my afternoon there a few weeks ago with my mother. Lots of wonderful things for your eyes to soak up! I highly suggest the Julie Speed exhibit before it disappears. She had become one of my favorite artists! Her attention to detail is quite fulfilling!

Good place to kill a couple of hours, this museum has something for almost everyone (except the Dino lovers) but everything from local artists work to aged classics both political government to faith based works to local history of el paso. Plus IT WAS FREE TO GET IN nothing beats free.

Really lovely and relaxing place to enjoy art pieces from local El Paso artists to 1600s Italian painters. Located in downtown El Paso so it is a great spot to stop at while walking around and enjoying the scenery the city has to offer.

Wonderful exhibition of 3D space by Laura Turon. She brought a bus that represented a bending lattice inside of it. She made it so well that one can feel the space being bent inside.

Definitely enjoyed my time here. My only hope is that some of the displays and pieces get leveled out. Also its a very eclectic collection and a little sporadic. Im not sure who is curating but its not great.

I install the text for exhibit title walls, so I see the exhibits before they are open to the public. There are selecions from the permanent collection as well as special or limited engagement exhibits that change frequently. A visit is well worth your time!

The El Paso Museum if art is a really good showcase of art in general but more specifically of El Pasoan Art. I had to go for a school project but ended up seriously intrigued by some of the art pieces. The ambient and quietness of the museum is also a plus. This really lets you enjoy and reminisce on every piece of art and really concentrate on the intricate pieces.

Small museum right in the heart of El Paso with great local art and surprisingly big name artists’ work, such as Jeff Koons. Large sculptures and changing exhibits. Area for kids where they can create their own art. No entrance fee, and a great gift shop. Only drawback is parking a about a block or so away, but not a big deal. Don’t miss this museum and make a donation on your way out.

The EPMA is a very cool place to go. *FULL DISCLOSURE- My wife works there and gives me the inner scoop.The museum store is my favorite place to go besides the exhibits. Partly because the store always has really neat stuff for the artists in your life and there’s always something fresh and original. However I mostly buy stuff from the store because a lot of the items are MADE by LOCAL ARTISTS and a portion of your purchase goes to them so they can keep creating more of what they love. As artists ourselves my wife and I fully believe in supporting/buying locally.The museum also has workshops and other events going on for the whole family. So if you want to know about what’s going on just stop in by the store or check out the website and you’ll get whatever questions you have answered.Also please remember that when you go please be respectful not only of the museum but of the folks that work there and PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN about the the prices of the items. There has to be a profit made not only to keep the store going but the local artists that help contribute items for sale at the store. These folks work hard not only to keep creating fresh original artwork but also to support their families so please keep that in mind.So go enjoy the museum and have fun.

Free your mind. The rest will follow. Im like 50/50 on how adventures pan out... thats me being honest... but its art and how much better can it get! Trust me and do it. If your skeptical... If anything...Go for the air conditioner on a July afternoon, and give it a genuine chance. Your mind and heart deserve that. :)

OkTom Lea exhibit, including wartime art. Evening event with costumes for day of the dead.Ive always liked this museum so getting in with my camera on a special night when the crowd energy was up was a great experience.Id like to acknowledge the extra security who were present but not intruding on the enjoyment of the festivities.

Beautiful quaint museum in the heart of downtown El Paso. Free admission & two floors of lovely art decorating the blank walls. There’s even a nifty gift shop in the front entrance. Not quite a day trip since the museum is fairly small but if you are in the area stop by after grabbing some lunch or running errands in the city

Right in downtown El Paso. Good amount of space. Has a gift shop. The artists on display on the first floor were modern and some local. The rest of the building has excellent colonial art including the bust if George Washington that was used for the dollar bill.

A small museum but has a great collection of art inspired by the local area. Surprisingly good selection dedicated to more classical and modern art forms as well.Overall, I was impressed by the total collection and think it would be worth going back to again in the future.
