This museum is internationally recognized for its excellent collection of Asian, African and Native American art, and for its fine collection of modern art produced by Pacific Northwest artists. The permanent collection includes 21,000 pieces, and while it doesn't have huge collections of European art, it does have plentiful local art and wonderful visiting exhibits. The museum is centrally located downtown near the waterfront and Pike Place Market. The museum is temporarily closed and will open in spring 2007.

  • The Asian collection is impressive.
  • The exhibition design does nothing to encourage learning.

“I found the layout of the museum uninspiring. One flows through unrelated collections, all in white box rooms. There is no relationship between galleries. I also was unimpressed by the Taurus's hanging from the ceiling in the foyer.”

  • World-class art all year 'round and a nice cafe on site.
  • Parking nearby is tough to find but there are parking garages in the area.

“I have family in Washington and a friend who lives in Seattle, and every time I visit up there, I check to see what is at the Seattle Art Museum before I go. This museum has one of the best permanent exhibits of Pacific Northwest Indian art to be found anywhere. I have seen some wonderful exhibitions there and art I never thought I'd see outside of London, Paris or New York. It is well worth your time to go to this museum whenever you go to Seattle”
