I overheard a few visitors commenting on their surprise at the Monet on exhibit. No, you don't expect Phoenix to be a spectacular cultural destination, but this museum is big with a handful of interesting collections and they get some great exhibitions that come through. You WILL recognize some of the artists and you'll likely see and enjoy pieces you didn't expect!\n\nIt's a great way to spend an afternoon - I walked through everything in twoish hours, but easily could have taken more time and do plan on going back to do just that! With free admission every Wednesday and during First Fridays, as well as the Culture Pass available from local libraries and opening on holiday Mondays when they're normally closed, they really want to make the museum accessible and remind Phoenicians that it's not just hot here, we've got culture too! \n\nSo go ahead and act like a tourist for a day. Plus, after you've worked up your appetite, there are plenty of great restaurants around to rest your feet and talk about your favorite pieces...like the unmarked back corner room on the top floor of the South Wing, it's worth getting all the way through!
