They have reasonably priced pins, books and poster so you can take the art home with you- which I love it.

Very interesting. Large variety of art

Every time I’m in town I take advantage of this FREE admission art gallery (donations welcome) I love revisiting their staple pieces and new exhibits too! The staff is very friendly and willing to answer your questions. They have reasonably priced pins, books and poster so you can take the art home with you- which I love.

I took my girlfriend in here It’s completely free they do take donations if you’re just out and like art definitely stop in here

Wonderful place for kids to explore and try out their imagination and colors.

(20 years ago...) One of this enjoyable museum in an unexpected place ;-)

Nice afternoon looking at the art. We have a lot of talent in the area.

A nationally recognized museum, right downtown. Its wonderful!

This was a nice museum with some really great pieces of art. The staff were fantastic and went out of their way to make us comfortable while sketched and viewed the art.

Swope is a delightful establishment, and is enjoyable to just about all who visit. The art is beautiful and it doesnt require an artists eye to appreciate the pieces residing within. Id recommend this place to those looking for a quiet outing with a loved one.

New to the area. This was a unplanned drop in. Glad I did. Museum was small but art wasnt disappointing. It features American art. Photography and sketching is allowed and theres free admission. Oh parking was easy. Swopes is street side and easy to miss it.

Small but full of great artwork, with well known works from artists like Edward Hopper, Grant Wood, and others. One of the coolest parts was a painting where Hoosier artist James Shepard did a portrait of the man who was the subject of Grant Woods Spring in Town as he was looking at the painting 33 years later. Anyway, the staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable, and the museum overall was a pleasant (and free) experience.

Great art

Awesome art gallery! Very friendly employees too.

Absolutely wonderful place for adults and teens to learn of great art and art history. The Executice Director and staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. I will return for a visit again.

Excellent job for the wabash 75th event. Really enjoyed it!

Great little museum. Helpful staff.

Came here with a group of people for a tour, and had a great time. Really enjoyed the different styles of art, our guide was very friendly and informative and I learned a lot about the pieces she highlighted. This is a wonderful place to spend some time, whether with a group or on your own. Highly recommended.

My family and I visit Swope often, we try to make it to see new additions and exhibits. It is a wonderful way to spend time and gather an appreciation for art. It is always a pleasure to bring a friend that has lived in Terre Haute or the surrounding areas for the first time.

The summer art program for kids is great and the staff are very friendly

Swopes a jewel in middle of downtown, Terre Haute. Lots of art work and wonderful staff. Their permanent art collection is great.

My first trip to an art gallery. More than expected!

The history that accompanied paintings and sculptures of local and regional artists like the Hoosier Group was a welcome surprise. I especially enjoyed the Curious George exhibit with its detail of how his creators escaped the Nazis during WWII. I was glad I took the short detour off of I-70.

Hidden gem in Terre Haute

Wonderful place, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. A lot of pieces from local artists. Not the biggest place but still very much worth checking out. Admission is free.

So many wonderful treasures and programs here! Plus, its forever free to go! Enjoy all the American art with exhibitions that rotates often... Always something new to see or do!

Beautiful art. Worth going to

It’s a really fun free place to visit. The staff were very nice. The art was of various styles and time periods.

A hidden treasure in Terre Haute. A great way to spend an hour or two.

Limited selection of art, but well selected and well circulated! I visit frequently.

Havent visited many museums but I think this one is nice. 2 floors several rooms. Its neat to slow down and look at art.

Hidden gem of Terre Haute

Great Collection of wonderful art

I went specifically to see my 11 year old nieces piece that is in the Lost Creeks school display. I was privileged to be able to see all of the schools artwork. Elementary school thru highschool. 51st such showing at Swope. So wonderful. I was amazed. Having said that, I arrived early and was blessed to have time to check out the Swopes own pieces. Oh my goodness! I have missed out for way too long. The pictures were jumping out at me. So many seemed to be 3 dimensional. I was moved by many of them. And the frames? Incredible. I had the good fortune to speak with one of the employees (I know that this isnt the deserving title but the correct one doesnt come to mind). He shared great insight and made my visit that much more special. I only have one regret. They accept donations and I had left my purse in the car. I didnt have cash anyway. I hardly ever do. But I will make sure that I do in the future. Yes. I plan on making it a regular thing for me. I am excited to take my 6 year old granddaughter.

Great place to see great art

Wonderful gem in Terre Haute. The Jack Levine wasnt on display which was unfortunate, but spent great time looking through collection

We love the Art Start program.

Its a nice museum with a lot of work by local artists

My 5-year-old loves to wander around the museum. We really love Art Start classes.

Hilde is an absolute treasure. If you have small children, take them to Art Start!

A nice little museum with a good selection of early 20th century American art and some 19th century Indiana impressionists. Make a day trip of it and see the Haan Museum in Lafayette as well.

My daughter won a scholarship for the summer program. Beautiful place and really nice employees

Fairly decent museum for Terre Haute

The place where the childrens art appreciation is raised is appreciated by the staff

Fun time and nice exhibits

Very nice building, friendly and helpful staff.

Wonderful place to visit.

A very nice collection with a great staff

Really great art and staff is amazing!

We tried to go in and it was like it was closed during open hours.

Always have grate art on display.

Has a nice little permanent selection. Upstairs gallery changes often, giving you a reason to come more often.

Mi Rey and I shared this first experience with interest and silence just taking it in.

Lots of stuff to lool at

Remarkably good American collection

A gem for art lovers.
