Boise Art Museum
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Boise Art Museum for the art; they come for the experience of discovery. Tucked away in Julia Davis Park, it's a place where you can spend an afternoon getting lost in thought-provoking contemporary pieces, then step outside to breathe in the fresh air among sculptures nestled in the garden. The vibe is more inviting than intimidating, making contemporary art feel accessible and immediate. It’s a genuine cultural heart for the city.
Collection Highlights
The permanent collection shines a light on modern and contemporary American realism, but the real draw is the ever-changing roster of exhibitions that feature everything from immersive installations to challenging new media works. Don't miss a stroll through the sculpture garden, where art interacts with the changing Idaho seasons.
