Although it's no competition for MOMA or the Met, this museum is really wonderful for its size. We saw an exhibit by a Ghanian artist made of used bottle caps and stem wrappers from liquor bottles - stunning. The permanent collection is nice and there are now some interactive features that introduce kids (and adults) to explore ancient and modern...

I enjoy visiting art museums and this was worth the time spent. It's a very nice building (get a map as it's a little confusing to navigate) with an eclectic collection. You can wander through in an hour or spend longer and it's a good, calming respite. I especially enjoyed the Tiffany glass and architectural pieces.
An amazing collection and it's very hard to believe as you meander through that you are on a college campus. What a treasure for anyone who visits A2.
The old building and new wing overpower a mediocre collection. A few more alumni with collections would help.Indiana University has a better museum
Would you like a visual treat? Head over to the U of M Museum of Art this spring to see the El Anatsui exhibit. Don't know who he is? I didn't. Google him and his amazing work. It is like nothing I've ever seen, and I've been to museums all over the world. The U of M museum was enlarged...

We were looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon that was different but enjoyed by ages 17-60. This totally fit the bill and surprised even the jaded of us! Highly recommend! Ask in the gift shop about the pieces made out of wood. Cool!
Exhibitions rotate among the regular displays Top notch, so much to learn about different artists and styles Gift shop is very nice too Donations instead of an entry fee
The El Anatsui exhibit at UMMA is spectacular. Well worth the hassles trying to find parking on campus. The museum itself is a great space, combining the traditional with the current in terms of architecture and display spaces. No question, the El Anatsui exhibition is a major coup for Ann Arbor in a fine and re-invigorated space.
There's a great Diebenkorn, and the Chinese paintings are wonderful. They also have temporary and interesting installation pieces on occasion.
