Friendly, small just a few exhibits but worth a visit. There is also a unique exhibit a couple building away if youd like more art to view.

This is certainly a hidden gem in downtown boulder. The outside is unassuming, but inside lies some of the best examples of contemporary art, displayed beautifully. The interior of the old brick building is stunning in itself. Did I mention it costs $1 to get in? Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.

I love how BMOCA has such an intimate vibe. The building is a historic land mark. The museum is located in a beautiful location next to the Tea House infant of Central Park! The current exhibition is also so great! Clark Richert is phenomenal. They are a huge support for the local art community.

One of the best small museums you will find, perfect to view thoughtful pieces for a quick break before/after lunch. You’ll have to stop by to see the art... but even the labels are interesting to read!

Finally made time to visit and I had so much fun. Although the museum is small, it is very spacious, well lit and was excellently curated. I especially loved the upstairs portion! I will definitely be visiting again!

Im an artist and Im generally disappointed by the art that makes it into museums but this was a happy exception. They had only 3 artists work up and 2 were women artists, which was amazing and made me so happy. I was introduced to artists Id never heard of but were producing excellent work that deserves to be seen. BMOCA is exactly what a contemporary art museum should be.

Heres another Boulder attraction that I have always ignored, now I wonder why. This traveling exhibition, that will be here until Spetember, was quite engaging. I enjoyed the exhibit that was a series of mandalas with earphones. When properly placed the sounds were very intriguing. Another exhibit was a series of framed money with laser cutting, with something pertinent in the cut out space. On Wednesday when the Farmers Market is open (they take place in the same area), the museum does not charge admission. And although the museum usually charges a $5 admission, for the rest of this year they are only charging $1.They are open during the Sat. Farmers Market, so of you need a little break from the crowding and noise, this is a good place to duck into.

This is a really small museum, not a whole lot of exhibitions. Though they do out on a craft table at the farmers market for kids to do crafts whilst parents are shopping.

I was very impressed with the Boulder museum of contemporary art. They had two exhibitions going when I went, both of which were excellent.It is very difficult for a small art museum to effectively Display enough art to make The Visit interesting without you feeling like they just stuffed everything they could find into the little space that they have.I felt like BMoCA a did a good job of avoiding those traps.By only having 2 exhibitions each exhibition was able to take up the entire floor so the pieces had plenty of space to breathe. Which was particularly important in the exhibition downstairs which was a series of portraits done on huge canvasses, and they required space and I was pleased that the museum gave them the space they deserved.Upstairs was an exhibition of various mixed media and digital art, specifically video and things done with computers. Even an app that was an art project - which was really cool.The fact of the 2 exhibitions were so different from each other and that the museum had a foot in both traditional and more I avant garde art was another high point.From what I could tell it seems like the get new exhibitions every few months so I will definitely be going back.

Cool place to check out. The space is decent size and if you like the featured artist then you can probably spend just under an hour here. Also its just $1 to enter.

This place has so much potential. The building is a cool space and I hope in the future they can build on what is there. The staff is very friendly but Id like to see art that fills the space and more of it

We had a Bar Mitzvah there. Not only is the venue fabulous, but the service and assistance throughout the planning and the event were seamless! Thank you Steven Riley!

Good art museum, but many pieces of art are difficult to understand. Right next to Central Park, the Dushanbe Tea House, & the Boulder Creek, it is easy to access from any point in Boulder. Recommend a quick stop there. It is free!

Its only $2, but theres not much to see.

Sorry but I cant appreciate many of the contemporary arts.To be considered as art, you have to at least show your painting skills are better than a four year old; and your interpretion are more sensible than a schizophrenia buddy (no offense to the patients).

This place is very small, only 2 or 3 exhibits. Hit or miss if you find whats up to be interesting.

Current new Contemporary exhibits from artists who strive to be free and forward thinking. Spacious galleries. Excellent venue for educators, business organizations and personal gatherings.

My first experience here! They had some really cool pieces by artists. Its free whenever the boulder farmers market is open so I would highly recommend a stop in from the crowds to take a look around!

WestRail SinoWalk is clearly not an artist and clearly has no regard for people with schizophrenia; neither of which have to do with the fact that this museum is a cool place to have in Boulder. A lot of the art scene in Boulder is kind of monotonous and, as a contemporary expressionist painter, I am happy that I can go somewhere local and have a taste of some international-feeling inspiration!

Fantastic museum to spend some time in. Its small, so its easy to see everything in under an hour, and they feature interesting exhibits. Best of all, its dirt cheap normally and free at certain times as well!

Not my type of art. It took ten minutes to walk through and we lingered as much as we could. Its a dollar to get in so its not a waste of money.

Fun place. Old depot turned museum. They also host events and have parties occasionally. We went their new years one which was a blast. Keep an eye out for what they have next!

Review №45

Its a nice building inside, but after donating $5 to the museum, we were a little upset at the lack of art. Theres a ton of white walls with no art. Maybe the joke was on us and the museum represented a minimalistic expressionism piece.

Definitely not the best museum Ive ever been to. Interesting to those who love modern art, but not the best stop for someone exploring the area.

Maybe Im just not that into Contemporary art, but their exhibits are a bit contrived. I think they could do more to help budding art appreciators interpret their experience.
