Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama, United States

4.5 (123 reviews) Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #15 in Mobile Art Museums

Bumped up .5 stars (it is actually 'good' vs 'very') because the chairs exhibit gave me serious smiles

The Mobile Museum of Art includes a permanent collection of approximately 6,400 works of fine and decorative arts from America, Asia, and Europe, spanning periods from classical antiquity to the present day. The Museum is supported by a unique public/private partnership of city and community support; its facility is owned by the city of Mobile, and the art collection is privately owned. Founded in 1964, MMofA has grown from a modest initiative of The Board of Commissioners of the City of Mobile and two private arts entities, the Allied Arts Council, and the Mobile Arts Association, to the only accredited art museum in southern Alabama.

    Worth a visit
    While on a two day visit to Mobile we thought we'd go to the Municiple Park and saw this museum and decided to give it a try. Many interesting exhibits, separated by areas of the world, and a section on life/segregation in the 50's in Mobile. We spent about 2 hours there and thought it worth the cost and time spent.

    Very enjoyable museum
    Museum sits in a park and was enjoyable to visit. We arrived late in the afternoon and we believe we were the only visitors to the museum. Actually that is a shame because the contents of the museum are well worth a visit. The moving Gordon Parks photography exhibit on life in Mobile in the 50’s and 60’s was worth the visit.. Expect to stay at least an hour to see the museum’s contents.
