What a wonderful discovery. Small art museum with wonderful exhibits. A lot from local artists and students. Lafayette must have a thriving art scene as I was amazed at the variety of wonderful pieces. It’s free but make sure and donate. The staff is excellent and very friendly.

Enjoyed the variety of displays, esp the fabrics, jewelry and woodwork. Some unusual pieces. Nice that it is free. Small museum tucked away down a hill. Some emphasis upon classes. Gift shop.

I had not been to this museum for many years. I decided to visit it today. It was a nice little Museum. I'm glad that it was free because I would have been disappointed in its size had I needed to pay an admission fee.
It was nice to see the Indiana now exhibit. I liked learning about local artists. I did think that the placards next to the artwork were a little bit patronizing but I know that many schools in the area visit this Museum so maybe that is why?

This museum offers classes as well as rotating exhibits in about five galleries, which include items on loan as well as those from the museums permanent collection. The classes which include pottery, watercolor, drawing printmaking and even yoga. The classroom facilities are very well organized. Pottery and other art created by some of the students are showcased on the ground floor in displays outside the classrooms. Scholarships for the classes are available.

The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette is an unexpected jewel. The quality of the exhibitions was outstanding and the content was diverse. "The Language of the Road" is a totally contemporary and high quality exhibition of encaustic paintings with an incredible installation piece! This exhibition is juxtaposed against a show of traditional quilts by the Americus Quilt Club, one of the oldest quilting clubs in the country. In addition they had an exhibit of T. C. Steele paintings and marvelous works from their permanent collection.
The exhibitions change four times a year, so you can return frequently!
NO ADMISSION FEE! - Plenty of Parking on 10th Street

I can't believe the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It's great to take your children during the day.

If I lived in West Lafayette I could see this being a frequent visit as new shows and galleries comes through. Not very big but clearly focused on quality local arts. It took us about an hour or so to see three galleries. There was another, but was temporarily closed at the time of our visit.

This was our first stop and was a very nice little place. The staff person was extremely friendly and it has a mix of new and old. We got through it in just under 40 min, but was a nice pit stop. It is also a free stop, we were amazed.

I've been to the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette several times over the years and their exhibits are thoughtful and creative. The family-friendly, two-floor facility is somewhat limited on space but when my daughter and I went last they had a great display of Indiana's T.C. Steele paintings (ironic since we had been to the Brown County Art Museum the previous year and no place could top it for T. C. Steele of course - see my previous review there).
There is adequate parking in the rear of the building along 10th Street, a little out of the way to get to if your from out of town. The building location limits future growth, but I recommend it for a short excursion into Indiana's fine arts, especially works of many media from local artists.
