The Haggerty has many pieces I do not consider "art," but given it is a small university museum and not a large operation, I'm willing to overlook. Known for its religious Dali piece (pictured) and Marc Chagall's religious pieces, it's nice place to stop by when you're in the area. Also pictured "The Great Lakes Cycle" by Alexis Rosman. The curator, Lynne, is quite nice--willing to explain the pieces and walk you through the exhibition.

Never really thought to go to this museum, but glad we did. It was fairly small, but had a lot of thought provoking and modern art pieces, and many from "popular" or famous artists. I think it would be great for a school field trip or someone just getting into the basics of art, as it has a lot of interactive elements and a good mix of pieces within its exhibits.

Since the museum is free, I can't rate it poorly. The hallmark of their collection, the Keith Haring fence mural, is very nice. However, none of the collection that can be found online was on view when we visited. What is on display is by no means bad, but the lack of art from other big names, despite works being in the museum's collection, was dissapointing.

At the time of this writing Haggerty has some of Tolkiens original works on display. Handwritten notes, types 1st drafts, revisions, sketches and more. No photos allowed to be taken. Very cool to nerd out seeing this many of the Professors work crafting his Lore and Legendarium.

Amazing collection Based on the current exhibits, you can see the museum in 25 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on if you read the provided information about each piece

Loved the variety of art pieces here and the staff at the front desk were incredibly helpful and friendly. Will absolutely be coming back next time I’m in town!!
