Reviews
"Went to go see the B(ART) (Simpson) exhibit with my daughter since we are both huge fans. The museum was full of activities to do while you are looking around at various pictures of the series throughout its entirety. You could animate your own cartoon with stop motion videography. You could trace over your favorite Simpsons characters too. There was a huge chalkboard where anyone cld take a piece of chalk and write on the wall, like Bart does in the beginning of each episode. It was fun to see what other people wrote. The gift shop had some great Simpson related items, but very pricey for my liking. ($45 for a hat/$55 (?) for a tiny backpack/fanny pack. Prolly stayed for an hour at the exhibit. Admission is $10.00 per guest. Memberships are available. Days closed are on Sundays and Mondays. Make sure to go to website to view when the museum is open bc sometimes they take a hiatus here and there throughout the year."
"Extremely disappointed. If you don't like their main exhibit, it is pointless to go. When the elevator opened for the upper floor we were slammed with a strong musty mold smell. The art work here flet like middle student could have done it. The best part was the top floor which was two TINY hallways with high school artists. Very talented students work there, but maybe only 20 or so pieces to see. Oh the front desk worker was VERY NICE =) and personable. Also they do have a cute little gift shop with a nice variety of items, priced well. But other than that I was so disappointed. I was looking at the images online and it looked like such a great place to visit. I was shocked they charged $10 a person to walk through!! This is my 1st bad review online ever so this was hard for me to do. But I don't want people to drive 3 hours like we did to check this place out to get as disappointed as I was."
"We loved this museum. The staff was helpful and informative. The Bart exhibit is a great collection! Today worth getting an annual membership to visit again!"
"A small art museum, conveniently located in downtown Appleton. I've seen several fascinating exhibitions there, like an absolutely amazing origami display. I've also been there when I found the items on display to be "not much." If you think you'll go more than once, membership is a much better deal than admission. Insider tip: You're not likely to see fish at the Trout Museum. It's named after Dr. Monroe & Sandra Trout."
"Beautiful museum. Fun Grinch exhibit right now 12/2020."
