City of Longmont Museum

Great place to take young children. The permanent exhibit does a very nice job explaining local history. The Ruckus Rodeo art exhibit by Fred Grooms, was a very nice surprise. We spent 20 minutes looking at the art exhibit, alone.

Dia de Los Muertos gallery is going to be Amazing!

Knowledgable staff. Open space of the rooms makes social distancing easy to accomodate.

I really wasnt expecting much but was very surprised! It delved into the history of Native Americans and the settlers and explorers that came in the 1800s. It also had displays of all the immigrant cultures that are infused in Longmont. There was also an impressive art display by Terry Maker that was innovative.

Wonderful museum with great staff. The exhibits are really top notch #accessible #culture #mustsee #learn

Great that they have a free exhibit area. But honestly, $8 entrance price was well worth it. Have a kids section and for one of the exhibits had kid friendly games and signs built into the info posters. Also likes the etched glass. World class exhibit in Longmont! Rodeo Ruckus!

Not worth the price. Very small museum. Easy to go through in about 15 or 20 minutes. Good exhibits they just need to expand.

Was very fun, wish it was bigger. Must do with family, and very educational of the area

Great art and a very nice place to be.

This is a very small museum and good for small children. Fee is reasonable. 3rd floor is a tiny room with a small pretend tree house that the kids loved. There are also lots of stuffed animal puppets to play with.

Excellent exhibits. Very interactive. Fun for the whole family. Having the third floor just for kids, an awesome idea!!

Great art exhibit and history of the area.

Great place to take family.

Helpful staff. Great service

Its a good place for knowing the history of Longmont CO and how it has grown. The coming of IBM and its impact on the changes it brought steadily.

My family absolutely loves the museum. There is something for everyone, the staff are extremely nice, and the facility is always clean and well-maintained. While it is small in comparison to other museums, it is usually not crowded...definitely worth stopping by!

Nice little town remember driving thru on Sat in the summer in the 60s when I was in grade school then driving myself in my 20s 30s 40s 50s now 60s. They have some remarkably nice old homes and parks. Altho lot of things are gone theres still some left and Im glad they preserved these.

Small museum that takes less than 30 mins to go through. Definitely not an all day activity. The children’s exhibit is very small as well. I’ve taken my young clients here for community outings on the free day (every second Saturday of the month), but I would never pay for admission. I don’t think it’s worth it.

Just because its a museum doesnt mean its got to be boring

Very fun little museum. My daughter and I have been coming here for a few years now. She loves the interactive exhibits and the childrens play area upstairs. We Loved the Ansel Adams exhibit too!

One of my favorite museums. I like the Ansel Adams. They regularly have tours come through here. Fantastic place to bring kids, family, or friends. I particularly like that its affordable. Hope youll check it out soon!Hey everybody, did you know that you can find out about this and other museums just buy asking at the front desk here? Please keep driving safe out there and share the road, thank you.Hart

Liked it cant wait until the art show opens in two days

Didnt seem to have many exhibits. But the Ansel Adams exhibit was great. Kids would have a great time there, especially with the irrigation system interactive exhibit. Would really like to see more Longmont history items on show.

Loved this place! Every thing from dinosaurs to a space rock. Great place for families and kids

Awesome spot thats free every other weekend!

I was there to put on a work event. The auditorium is a wonderful venue

This museum is small but they offer a lot of great programs for kids in the 2-6 year age range. I like that they have rotating exhibits for varying interests. Right now is Ruckus rodeo, which as a whole was underwhelming. However, they do have a cute hands on rodeo center in the courtyard for kids, which I enjoyed more than the exhibit itself. Some of the permanent exhibits include history about Longmont, which is actually interesting to read If you have the time. Upstairs on the third floor is a treehouse exhibit, which my kids were really excited about because last time we came it only had a few magnetic tiles on a table. All in all, I think it’s a fun place to visit occasionally being that it’s close to home.

It looks bigger from the outside. The entrance fee is $8 for adults. I went last month when they had an exhibition for Early years of Photography for Ansel Adams. The setting was beautiful and it had a good collection of works and history. There was a smaller hall exhibiting other artist works.

Its just a small city museum. There was a tree house exhibit on display so that was the big deal at the time. Not jumping up and down about that but the kiddos had a fun time. Thats really the point right? We sacrifice as parents for our kids and Im glad there are resources available to give them dime history and perspective. There was also a Longmont history section that wad unique and interesting. Its nice to take the digital generation back in time and show them what it was like. I feel it allows them to be grateful and hopefully humbled somewhat.

Great exhibits. Every year, the Dia de Los Muertos altars are so wonderful.

Great place for the kids. Some unique and spectacular exibits come through. Ansel Adams was great! Concerts during the summer are fun too.

They regularly forefront wonderful new art projects, and have a working tour for all ages covering the history of longmont from beginning to now. And their water project being intertwined with history leaves one with a more true Colorado experience.

Fantastic museum. I cant wait for them to fix the electric vehicle charging station out back.

I had low expectations for a smaller town museum, but I have enjoyed several concerts and exhibits here. Honestly, it is my wife who always finds things to see here, but I have a good time every time. The Ansel Adams exhibit is a great half hour. The Longmont history exhibit was very educational. I did not grow up here, but have lived here 20 years and I learned a lot. Two great concerts include a gypsy jazz band. Watch for things that interest you and check it out.

We just visited the museum for the dia de muertos, display that they have and its such a nice museum, big, clean the people attending the reception/front desk really nice and attentive, really nice place to visit and take yours with you.

Great event space and helpful staff!

Really a great exhibit of Red Grooms. Exciting installation piece, exuberant, colorful, humorous and really well curated.

Had a great stormy Sunday indoors at the City of Longmont Museum! They had a large special exhibit that spoke of WW1 and its connections and impact on the local area which I found pretty thought provoking. Very educational without glorifying war. The Longmont rising section was a great view into the past of the local area and its growing pains. Make sure to see the moon rock on the second story!

Wonderful concert this evening. Great venue.

Awesome local museum, super fairly priced, and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Saw the Ansel Adams exhibit that was simply breathtaking

Fabulous, as always! There for the 19th Dia de los Muertos opening. (I miss Martha Clevenger, though...10 years gone from us). Thanks to Cyclhops for the yummy nachos, and to all if the altar preparers

I had a great time with family. The museum is a little small, but very good quality stuff in there. The park next to it is gorgeous. Great view of the mountains on top. $8 is a very fair price for an adult, but not cheap and not expensive.

Not many exhibits open and not very easy to navigate if youve never been.

The Ansel Adams photography display is outstanding. He was a true landscape visionary and his work reflects that.

We went to the Yule Ball. It was a fun time, they put a lot of work into it. Family oriented though, not a grown ups only occasion.

Kind of sad. The building is new and beautiful, but the exhibits are old and not worthy of the surroundings. Skip the museum and go to the rec center across the parking lot!

This museum is very welcoming and kid friendly. LOTS of hands on interaction and interesting information.

First time visit for me. Attended the earth day and learn so much about how I can be a better person treating our planet.

My kids love going here often and well as going to the summer camps they have.

Elaine did my daughters 6th birthday party. My wife had an idea to do a Project MC2 themed party. Elaine took the idea and ran with it. She did such a great job. She made some with the kids in an experiment style with hypothesis and sense type questions for the kids. She also had the kids paint a negative of their initials in a periodic table fashion. They also decorated a Project MC2 lab book and safety goggles. We couldnt believe how much thought and work Elaine put into the party. We were extremely appreciative and would highly recommend Elaine and her expertise in other art and science themed birthday parties.

Decent museum, but could use more historical items from Longmont’s past. Microfilm of past newspapers is helpful and informative.

It was interesting, I just wish it was a bit larger. The google tinker room is really cool and the kids loved itespecially the VR.

Fun look at Longmont and other interesting things like the origami exhibit that was here a while ago. Nice auditorium, very live. And very helpful staff.

It is very nice that there is a DC quick charger for electric vehicles here! It will be awesome when more business and establishments start installing Electric vehicle charging stations everywhere...

Very nice, small museum. Lots of stuff for kids to do but still interesting for adults as well. Only the special exhibits have an entry fee.

Went twice to the Ansel Adams exhibit and was so surprised by the quality of the museum. I will definitely make it a point to visit more often!

Pleasant, Modern facility with local historical materials/exhibits and educational events for children. The museum hosts outdoor summer concerts and indoor cultural events as a well as a growing music / film series in its new 250 seat Stewart Auditorium. Bravo Longmont!

Very nice small museum. Glad we went.

This is a nice local museum that has just had a great addition put on. The new theatre is comfy and classy. Ive been to a few exhibits here which are usually pretty interesting. Also, they offer arts and crafts classes here which are a great way to learn how to do something new.

Very interesting, especially regarding Colorado history.

Excellent exhibits and great new building. Friendly staff and catered food.

Nice smaller museum. I went for there Ansel Adams exhibit

It was simpler than I expected

Probably great for kids not a whole lot for adults

Great place for an event. The location is nice too, just outside the city and so getting in and out is pretty smooth.

Love this little gem! Great exhibits, friendly staff and lots to do.

I learned so much about where my family came from Im 6 generation Longmont native

I went to see the Ansel Adams display, otherwise I would have left cheated out of $8. I would have paid around $5 seeing every corner of the building, I made sure I wasnt missing something.

Easy access; free parking; nice building; some interesting exhibits

The Longmont Museum has such a wonderful variety of options, from the local history exhibit, for both adults (good info) to children (great hands-on activities), to cultural activites too numerous to mention.Some of the recent highlights, in my mind, have included the Day of the Dead celebration, a cultural appropriation panel, and a variety of movies in the new Auditorium. Im hoping that the Taiko drummers will be visiting again this year as well as indigenous peoples activities.Something for everyone...what a gem Longmont has!

Great free museum with rotating exhibits for an additional fee. A nice way to spend an hour or so learning about the local history and right across from the community center.

Company used auditorium for off site meeting. Very nice.

Nice place.

This museum is a gem! You can lean a lot about local history in the permanent exhibition, and they always have great exhibits in rotation. The Stewart Theatre is beautiful...great for the Boulder International Film Festival!

Great place to bring the kids. They have activities during the day for younger kids as well. The exhibits change frequently and cater to adults and kids. We ended up getting a membership because we go quite often as a family.

Great place. The theater area is very nice. Heard a talk about animals and mental health, very well done.

Excellent exhibit and very nice staff to greet you.

Cute little muesem and not too boring for the little ones i love the hands on learning

Never been there before but my 3 year old daughter loved it.

We went for the dinosaur exhibit which was cool. They had interactives for the kids. The kids always enjoy going through the permanent exhibit as well. We make a scavenger hunt of it.

Great place to take children they are always having fun activities.

Ever first Saturday of the month is free! My children loved it all from 14 years old to 3 years old they really enjoyed learning about the history of Longmont and the how Longmont has contributed to the growth of colorado! We learned lots of new things about how the water flow from the mountains affects the Longmont and Lyons areas!

Good services...

This place is great. It was full of some nice historical Colorado and Longmont based artifacts. I went there to write a college paper and left with so much more than I ever expected.

Great small city museum, exhibits tie in locally. Very nice staff. The auditorium is world class and the spaces are very useful for community gatherings.

Very nice place to visit

Visited with my daughters school recently and was not inpressed with the staff and how they didnt even give the kids a chance to look around.

Went to see the democratic debate there.

More of an event center than a museum. Beautiful facilities.

Listened to a guest lecturer speaking about infantry tactics during the Great War, it was a great talk. Museum hosts a great lecture series.

A lovely new facility in the midst of some exciting construction in the area. The auditorium is great for singing.

Good place to bring young kids on cold days

Good infrastructure. Great for events.

Neat little place need more about the area and exhibits. I kinda expected more but hey its OK

Film festival was great fun. The auditorium was a terrific place to see films

Tiny but fun place to visit

Well...being from Jersey....lets just say Im glad I went on a free day....staff was great...people were cool....no complaints just maybe expected more....

Fabulous decorations and festivities. Mariachi bands very authentic.

This is a great little community museum that has cool rotating exhibits and an incredible view of the mountains. The museum has a variety of events including kids crafting during the week. Cant wait for them to finish construction of the theater.

Just saw the Charles Russell & Frederic Remington exhibit at Longmont M&CC. Loved it!. Very well displayed, you can get right up to the artwork, see the brushstrokes of the artists. While Russell is my fav., I really like the Remington stuff as well. Find out lots of info about both the artists and work.
