    I absolutely loved my visit to the museum and art gallery – it was a fantastic experience! The horse exhibit we saw in August was truly spectacular; we were so lucky to be there at the right time. The facility itself is beautiful, and the setting is just lovely. Definitely a must-see, and I’m already looking forward to returning. report abuse

    We really enjoyed our visit to the museum – it’s a lovely space. We were lucky enough to catch the tail end of an exhibit swap, so we didn’t get to see everything, but the portion we did see was fantastic, particularly the display of cowboy artists. It was great to learn about them and appreciate their work. report abuse

    Seriously, if you’re a fan of Western art, you absolutely have to check this place out – it’s a real treasure! report abuse

  • Cherrie

    Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. The bronzes and western paintings were fantastic, and our docent was a great guide, doing a wonderful job introducing us to the rooms before we explored on our own. The gift shop was also lovely. However, it was a little disappointing that such a large area was closed off – we were told they were setting up a new exhibit, but it would have been nice to be able to peek through the curtains while we waited. report abuse

  • Alice Pierce

    “We really enjoyed our visit a few weeks ago. The docent was fantastic – she gave a wonderful explanation of the museum’s history and the bronze-making process. It was a shame we didn’t know about a special exhibit she was running; we would have loved to see it if the desk clerk hadn’t mentioned it. I think the museum could really benefit from more signage and promotion of these kinds of events.” report abuse

  • Brad Courson

    This place is really interesting – a great little piece of history to explore. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone, and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for the free entrance for our veterans; that was a really thoughtful gesture. report abuse

    “I absolutely loved this art museum! The lower gallery was a real highlight – I found a painting there that I just had to have; it’s now hanging in my home.” report abuse

  • Lise H

    It’s a really interesting little museum – a nice addition to Prescott. They’ve got a great cowboy exhibit going on alongside their permanent collection of cowboy items and artwork. The preserved work desks were a neat touch, and it was cool to see one of them was a Phippen desk! Definitely worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for a compact museum. report abuse
