Reviews
Wonderful rotating exhibit areas change often, however; the permanent collection has faded over time and shows signs of serious deterioration/lack of proper care, which is quite disappointing. The entirety of the first floor smells...and smells very bad. I am not sure what the smell is exactly, but it smells....like....I don't know. It smells like urine. I don't know what else to say there, it is pretty rough. Small and lacking care. Pretty much a disappointment on my visit to KY.

Fantastic exhibits. There permanent collection has some real gems and its a free admission. Best way to see timeless beauty in downtown(ish) Lexington.

Excellent small university art museum. The evening I was there, the Director gave a very nice presentation on abstract art with several videos of artists of that genre, including the artist featured in the museum.

Just the right size for an art museum. It could be bigger, but they have an large number of exhibits that fit the space nicely, and I didn't get tired of art before I was done seeing everything. The current photograph exhibit is a bit weird to me (perhaps a bit forced) but also neat in its own way.
