Went on a family art day I found on Facebook. Lots of volunteer helpers and age-appropriate activities for the little ones: clay vessels, Valentines Day cards, scratch art, presidents day beards, mardi gras cookies, and lemonade. Friendly faces, clean areas, and most importantly, a chance for children to be in an artsy environment. The gallery had interesting pieces as well, with staff who can explain what you're looking at. Will look out for more activities throughout the year.

Although AMSET is relatively small, the museum has a wonderful collection of pieces from regional and international artists. The building and grounds are stunning. Ample meeting and children's workshop spaces, and the museum hosts a variety of community activities and events. If you are in Beaumont, check it out...free admission too!

We entered and wanted to use the restroom before we explored. They stopped us and asked me, “Do you see the signs? The floors are wet. Did you come in just to use the restrooms?” We said no. The signs for wet floor had been set up on dry floors everywhere PRIOR TO MOPPING. The lady started interrupting my questions about where to walk with directions on where we needed to move to so she could mop. Then took out the mop. We stood there wondering what to do, so we asked if we could have a map. The desk attendant said, “Uh, no. We’re small. Two of our exhibits are under construction but you can go see our cafe’.” We looked at each other and laughed. Okay. We get it. You don’t want people in your museum or on your floors. We’ve never been here after all these years. No one was here but us, and they couldn’t have been more quick at letting us know they would rather keep the place empty, clean, and quiet. The desk attendant spoke quite condescendingly to us, like we were idiots from ignoring the wet floor sign on a dry floor. Get new attendants. Who realize visitors must walk in and actually see what exhibits and attractions are there for viewing.

I was really looking forward to spending my day off at the museum but when I walked up there was a sign saying it was closed today. No information about it being closed on the website. Hopefully the next time I’m able to spend an afternoon here they are open.

Such a beautiful place to happen upon! The staff is so very friendly. Got to catch part of a guided tour presented by the museum curator herself and learned so much! The Sherry Owens exhibit currently on display is very thought-provoking and beautiful.

Great Museum. Free Admission , right next to the Texas Energy Museum. Only wish it had a 2nd floor.
