Flora & Fauna exhibit by Ellen Woodbury and Kathryn Vinson is amazing. It is opening night! The artists are here to share their incredible talent and answer questions.

I was lucky enough to attend a new exhibit that was designed by Emily Baker and the rest of the museum team. It was really cool to see the archaeological process, and the treasures it yielded from a town buried underwater for decades. The mainstays of the museum were informative, and I appreciated the attention to detail they provided. The sugar girls were quite scary though.

From the outside, you would not be able to tell how absolutely immense the inside is. There are many interesting displays that talk about the history of the area.

Loveland Colorado has a very nice art museum what a nice surprise over the past several years I have seen some exhibits that could easily compete with small museums from larger cities it is food for the soul and it means so much to be able to experience that caliber of art without driving to Denver.

This is perhaps one of the most surprising small museums on the Front Range! The historical exhibits really bring life in Loveland to life, the interpretive signage is actually helpful and fun, and the art is awesome! Definitely a must see if you have an hour or two to explore!

A great way to spend a little time learning the unexpected history of this little town. Interactive and easy to navigate, the historical section of the museum is free. The rotating art exhibits on the other half of the museum was a nominal charge of $7. I didnt view the art but spent a happy hour discovering the way sugar beets and alabaster helped shaped Loveland.

The Loveland Museum has a nice collection of both modern and classic art. In addition, they have a very good collection of Western historical items. There is almost a complete 1800s town.

Great art show. Did not care for a group of visitors talking in loud voices through the exhibit. Maybe a Quiet, please sign would be appropriate.

This museum often has interesting exhibits and well-known artists, especially for a museum in a town of Lovelands size. It also has some interesting history of northern Colorado and Loveland itself. Its definitely worth a visit!

This is quaint museum in an old part of Loveland, CO. The layout gives each display its own unique corner that its easy to focus on each theme individually. Its captivating for children too. It is a must-see.

Review №28

Loveland Museum has three different galleries, with a variety of exhibits, ranging from their standing exhibit that is a homage to Colorado history, to small, intimate exhibits of some of the master (and sometimes controversial) artists of our time.Most recently, we visited their exhibit that included some small works of Picasso. We also particularly enjoyed the Christo exhibit, showing some of his preliminary drawings/plans, as well as the talk/class about his process. Of course, they also have special events such as Hot Metal, Cold Brews with blacksmithing demos and great beer...Upcoming exhibits include a collection of Chicano artists assembled by Cheech Marin, an exhibit of Ethereal Icons, and a celebration of 100 years of womens suffrage. Come, enjoy, and learn!

This museum was a great stop for me today. Id missed this spot before. It has many wonderful pieces of the history of Loveland including artifacts and parts of buildings such as the old general store, and hotel. I really enjoyed them having all the variety of displays and the layout with several nooks to look into. I was pleasantly surprised and highly interested in so much there.

Review №34

This small museum has a big, broad vision. They repeatedly delight in introducing audiences to Picasso, Dali, Matisse, Michelangelo and more in intimate conversation. Its as if we are all in a Parisian cafe and their usual crowd showed up They also let us meet local artists work, reflecting the regional diversity and history. This is an affordable journey for all. I recommend following its schedule closely.

Review №39

Loveland Museum is deceptive. Not what you might expect. Having a large Artist comunity has allowed our very creative Director to schedule wonderful Art exibits. Having contacts with Universies and Private Collectors there is a wide variety of artist displaied in 3 different galleries. Check the schedule on line as some showes last a month others are shorter.PS. There are also displays of pioneer live in Loveland in other areas.

The Loveland Museum is the perfect place to spend a few hours of your day. I really enjoyed the combination of art and history exhibits - the staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable. They have also figured out a great way to make the museum more engaging for kiddos - the Explorers Club is a favorite of my seven year old daughter. Almost everything at the museum is free with the exception of the $5 main gallery admission but they give you the option to view that gallery or just enjoy the rest of the Museum free of charge. Conveniently located in downtown Loveland close to other fun places like the Library, Chilson Center and several great restaurants.

This is a great little local museum. They have had several interesting temporary shows including Picasso (current) and Goya (a while back). Entrance fee for the special exhibits is low ($5 for the Picasso) and the rest of the museum is free. Dont forget to go downstairs, they usually have interesting exhibits featuring local artists. Check it out sometime, I think youll enjoy your visit.

Much nicer than I had assumed going in. Most of the museum is free but if you want to see art displayed in the main gallery it will cost I think $5. This didnt seem to matter though as my GF and I strolled in without issue. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the musiem.

This is a timeless place to come visit. Ive been coming here since I was a kid. I used to do art programs here, had my art in shows, etc. Its free to come visit the historical parts which features old time, lifesize exhibits of Mariano Medinas cabin, sugar beetle factory complete with a robotic dude telling you about beet farming and theres even little dress up stuff for kids. Go through the whole museum in 30 minutes but its such a unique, cute way to celebrate Lovelands history. The art exhibits do cost to visit, but its like $5 or so. Also, they have an event room downstairs that was so affordable to hold a bridal shower, and so unique! This is the heart of Loveland for sure. A true gem!

Definitely go to the Governors Art Show when its there. But, even without that, its a fun place to go learn a little history of the area. It is a small, area history place, so dont expect to much. The Art Show has a few, but the mission itself is free. Also, lots of good dining in the area.

We went to see the History side of this place, they also have an Art side. The history side is free, and quite amazing. From the outside of this place, you wouldnt think they can stuff this much content inside. The history side is free, you cant beat that! The art side is only 5 bux, cant beat that. Will return.

Great museum! If you are in Loveland, I recommend this along with the Benson Sculpture Garden. You dont expect much from when you walk in, but it is a 3-story museum showcasing Northern Colorado & Lovelands history. There were 3 art exhibits when I went, one of which costed money, but that is the only part of the museum that costs money. Pretty much everything is great, from the recycled object take on famous paintings to the model of the Loveland House Hotel & the sugar beet exhibit, this is a must see for all those visiting Loveland, or just bored residents looking for something to do!
