Very accessible. I think I went for free too - so the price was right.

Human create art for another human to enjoy. So an art museum like this is a culmination of enjoyable feeling you can have. Out from this facility if you really enjoyed it, you will feel recharged.

So, I recently had the "pleasure" of visiting the Block Museum of Art, and I must say, it left much to be desired. I had high hopes for a vibrant and diverse collection, but unfortunately, it fell short. The curation needed to have the captivating elements that genuinely engage visitors and ignite my imagination or interest.To make matters worse, I encountered some issues with the administration. Lisa Graziose Corrin, it's time to take a hard look at the museum's direction. The lack of self-awareness, vision, and imagination is painfully apparent and hampers the overall experience.Additionally, Lindsay Bosch, the Associate Director of Communications, Marketing, and Digital Strategy, didn't quite hit the mark with her strategies. The experience felt lacking in immersion and failed to deliver the expected engagement. It's disheartening when an institution fails to acknowledge and address constructive feedback.In the end, the Block Museum has the potential to be a true cultural gem, but it requires a severe reevaluation of its approach. Embracing diversity, actively listening to visitor feedback, and fostering meaningful collaborations are crucial steps toward improvement. I sincerely hope the museum takes these suggestions to heart and works towards creating a more fulfilling and inclusive experience for its visitors.

I came specifically to see a print exhibition in the alsdorf gallery and i was disappointed to see it was an empty room, seemingly under construction (not listed on the website) full of cobwebs and some kind of loose small animal (unattended) scurrying about that almost made me uncomfortable. the only reason that i'm still giving 3 stars is that the girl at the front desk was so super hot and I can't stop thinking about her. If you're reading this front desk girl please hit my line and we can go to a better museum and then spend the rest of our lives together.

Very emotional experience but the awareness of it brings knowledge and awareness of where we have become individually and collectively...

✨?Yesterday was for @nublockmuseum! We took a bike ? and head to Evanston from Chicago! And the trip was really worth it! BLOCK museum is placed in a beautiful campus surrounded with amazing outdoor sculpture collection and you can take a map and labels at the front desk. The current exhibition is great and the content is very hard and intense but super important at the same time and that is why I do really appreciate how the whole space is designed. You can use 3 reflection rooms, where you can listen to special meditation prepared for this special exhibition. Take a look at their visitor guide, where I would like to highlight the reflection questions, the possibility for feedback and the list of resources where you can further go for more information and content. ✨? well what to say… another great university museum.find more info about audience engagement in university museums on my instagram account @universitygalleries.

Hidden gem. Lovely, well curated collection of surprising quality and inclusion. Friendly, helpful staff; easy, reasonable parking ($9 before 4pm on weekdays), and just the right size to walk off lunch with a bit of culture. Bonus: it's free.

Parking: I went both times and parking sucks! there's really no free street parking around the area, I would advise you take uber or lyft so you don't have to worry about paying or your car getting a ticket.

What a find! This gallery stands up to many that I have visited throughout the states. It's a free admission gallery, yet it feels high end. I highly recommend it.

Don't miss this spot if you're on campus. Had the pleasure of seeing the finest Turkish/Iranian private collection. Knocked out.

Came in while visiting family for Thanksgiving. Had a fantastic afternoon in the doing. The exhibit at the time was well constructed and impactful. The space, however, was beautiful leading me to believe any exhibit would be worth visiting. I look forward to visiting again next time we're visiting and want to spend an afternoon togeteher

Small campus art museum, and free. Just has a few rotating exhibits, but usually at least one of them is good. The current exhibit on modern work from Iran/India was excellent.
