We love BAM for their remarkable building, designed by award-winning architect and Northwest native Steven Hull. BAM's always thought-provoking craft and design exhibits compel us to visit regularly. Think again if you believe all they do with money in Bellevue is earn it and spend it. BAM's current "Love Me Tender" exhibit of amazingly creative artworks made from coins and... More

I am a lover for classic art and I still dont understand how some things are called art nowadays.. The part of this museum that was worth it was the blown glass exhibition, the rest was weird. If you are looking for sculpture and painting go to Seattle's art museum.

Thought this might be a small, quick walk thru venue. Not so. A multi floor space with contemporary work. A wonderful way to spend a gloomy Washington afternoon.

Interesting lively collections -none permanent - of craft/art. Gets little attention; never crowded, always something interesting to see, great gift shop. Located across from Bellevue Square, parking underneath and free.

We have seem a couple of good shows here. The works have been varied and interesting. It is multi-level and quite spacious. The gift shop is well-stocked and tastefully laid out.
