From time to time, Phoenix Art Museum is able to bring a very special exhibition to the area that affords local residents and visitors the opportunity to view and appreciate a unique and valuable collection. Often, these events are only showcased in a handful of museums nationally. Past exhibitions of this nature include Masterworks from El Greco to Picasso in The Phillips Collection, Norman Rockwell: Pictures for the American People, The Secret World of the Forbidden City; Splendors From China's Imperial Palace, Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art, Curves of Steel, and Mexico and Modern Printmaking.
These special exhibits are usually ticketed events, where you must visit the museum on a specific date at a specific time. Audioguides direct you through the art works and displays. The charge for these shows is higher than the normal admission fee, but they are always fantastic events that are well worth the cost. Special items relating to the exhibit are available for purchase in The Museum Shop during those shows.
Don't miss the Cowboy Artists of America Sale & Exhibition, held each fall. It is a popular attraction, and is a major fundraiser for Phoenix Art Museum.
