The Bronx Museum of the Arts

A great small museum on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. The current exhibition of Michael Richards ("Are You Down?") is great and stimulating. The artist died tragically on 9/11 at age 38. His studio was located in the World Trade Center. A particular focus of his show are the Tuskegee Airmen with allusions to both Icarus and Saint Sebastian. The architect of the beautiful new building from 2006 was Arquitectonica. Entrance is free.

Always a pleasure to visit. Lovely place for Events.

Closed Mondays and Tuesdays Easy access to public transportation Exhibition changes every 6 months

Small museum but free and featuring local artist. They have a teen council internship that also displayed their culminating art. We were really impressed by the deep thoughts and art of those teens! It doesn't take long at all to visit here and very easy to get to from D train. Opened until 6pm, not crowded at all

1) Its free! 2) the exhibits are well curated - they tell the story of the art in super engaging ways and organize the work to give a sense of the artist’s message and mindset 3) It’s a beautiful building 4) it’s a peaceful space for exploration and contemplation 5) its easy to get to - a block from the D train.

Today was my first time visiting The Bronx Museum of the Arts. Beautifully designed and structured. It has a modern appeal with stone and glass combined to create the spaces that host works of art from artists then and now. The exhibit pays homage to the 80’s. From boom boxes to graffiti, this exhibit exudes an era that has not been forgotten and to some extent still lives on through other works of art.

A free nice small museum that has exhibits reflecting the life of minorities in NYC, primarily through the lenses of Jamel Shabazz. Plan to spend about an hour at least to capture the pictures across 5 decades. The photos were amazing, especially the ones reflecting the childhood innocence and family.

There is also a exhibit region showing different exhibits each month. When we went it was Medicina me Amor showcasing life in the Dominican republic.

Had an absolutely fantastic time here and the unassuming small sized lobby had a ton of hidden treasures as the many interconnecting rooms are hidden from view until you explore the small space. Not a massive museum but it's easy to spend an hour or two here if you're interested in modern art. Had a great time on a rainy day and it's extremely easy to reach by public transportation. Just be careful of some of the art pieces as one of them gave me a good scare since it dropped something overhead while I was underneath and was on a timer. Just pay attention to the large artworks as a lot of them have cool movement or mechanics that make them so unique. World class facility and unbeatable at the price of admission which is free!

A museum that highlights the art of Black Americans throughout the 1900s in South Bronx to present day. Breath taking.

I am excited to see how the Bronx Museum's expansion turns out in 2025! When my daughter and I visited, we were able to see Michael Richards legendary work.

I enjoyed my visit to this museum. It is free of charge, family friendly and presents variety of contemporary art including emerging artists. The coffee shop offers also delicious food.

Presently there's a great set of exhibitions, both exploring photography in different yet overlapping political frameworks. The subway graffiti photography exhibit is presented in a way that overlays depth and scale. It is not like anything else you'll see in NYC and I strongly recommend visiting this museum.

The museum is showcasing a few artist,I like the museum it's spacious and comfortable. The museum is wheelchair accessible, close to the 1 and 2 bus. Take the subway to 167 street walk one block.

Today was my 1st time at the Bronx Museun of Art. The exhibition was Jamel Shabazz and it was great to see a historical view of black and brown life in NYC. Definitely a great collection of work.

This was my first time attending this museum. Its free to visit. Located in the bronx. The exhibit that was displayed was graffiti. The beginning and end of an era. Great step back in history. I definitely would recommend a visit. If your in the bronx this is a place to see.

My grandson and I had a great time and he was so excited about the capsule

This is one museum that is a must see. Always have cool event and never have the same displays. I love this museum because it's modern and weird and retro all rolled into one

Did Boogie on the Boulevard this weekend. Like a Summer Streets for the Bronx. Last one of this year will be Sept. 10, 2017. There community here is strong and there is lots of culture to go around. It's definately a Happy place.

Amazing FREE (donations welcome) museum celebrating so much culture. Drop a few dollas or more in the donation box then go enjoy some great art in the Heart of the South Bronx.

A piece of art without which the NY art picture remains incomplete. Small, but fantastically specialized, must-see for people looking for something local and extra.
