This museum is a great resource for both the campus and the city. The architecture of the building is nice; there is a middle eastern feeling fountain courtyard inside, the restaurant might be the best on campus, and the exhibits are nice as well. There is a strong emphasis on Asian art, so if that's your thing, you will love... More

I was visiting a friend in Eugene and she suggested we go to the museum and then grab some lunch in their cafe. I was stunned at how large and beautiful the museum was! Their main gallery is HUGE and the contemporary art show that we saw was incredible. But then, I was really impressed by all of the galleries.... More

One of the best collections of ancient and modern Japanese and Korean art and artifacts I have seen. We have visited several times and new work is nearly always displayed along with the permanent collection. Don't miss it. More

I have heard it said that the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art had one ofthe best Asian collections on the west coast. I don't know how such a statement would be objectively substantiated, but I do know that I have never been disappointed with a visit there. The added bonus is that it is small enough to not feel overwhelmed... More

The Asian collection in this museum is fabulous, with my favorite piece the Jade Pagoda. It is visually stunning to look at. Also housed in the JSMA is one of the leading Korean collections in the US. More

We didn't expect much from a campus art museum ... but were surprised to find a scaled-down version of a big-city museum. Well worth the $5 admission. More

This museum has everything from asian to modern and many fun things in between. As an Art History major, I love to browse each new exhibit and see what's new. The "Iconicity" exhibit is really interesting and there is a gorgeous small scale, but still quite large, jade pagoda that I love as well. Hours are great. Every day till... More
