We went for a Kara Walker exhibition and a show on the South several years ago. I was impressed by the curating of the exhibitions and the architecture of the museum.

I'd give 5 stars if the permanent collection were free to the public. Instead they make no distinction between special exhibitions and entrance. One ticket gives access to everything. The displayed collection is small but still impressive. Nice collections of African and Latin American Art. Nice use of technology for virtually changing the colors on statues or for reading the pages of a Medieval manuscript.

This museum is easy to walk around in an afternoon. It's full of light and open space. There's a nice cafe there and a small gift shop. They have changing exhibits all the time. The one I saw was "People Get Ready" which was excellent!

Excellent collections, always well curated, laid out clearly for the meandering, searching, learning art spectator. Don't try to rush through the exhibits though, you will miss too much of the cohesive narratives. Do make sure you've got the right mindset and amount of time to absorb the artworks.

Great content. Staff was not friendly. They were browsing the internet. Only one smiled and said enjoy. The exhibits were great.

A small university museum with a permanent exhibition and temporary displays featuring classical and contemporary art. The cafe serves weekend brunches as well as weekday breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Thursdays are open to the public free of charge.

Always go here just to grab coffee and browse. It’s a small museum but the few permanent pieces they carry are pretty solid. Especially the medieval and Greek pieces. The path around the outside of the museum is nice too. It’s a nice spot to enjoy as a date or just a pleasant day out. #recommend

This is a nice museum but several exhibits closed or not available. Seems like a waste of $7 per adult with roughly half of the museum with inaccessible. Plus, there's the cost of parking. What was available for touring was nicely presented.

The permanent collection at The Nasher museum is pretty good. and most of the touring exhibits I've seen were also pretty nice. But one should understand that this is a small museum. It is free to go on Thursday, and that's when you get your money's worth.

Located on the Duke Campus the Nasher Museum offers a variety of Art from Renaissance paintings to Modern Art. The museum is small so it takes under an hour to view. There is a café and a nice outdoor seating area. For Duke students and military the admission is free. They have various exhibits throughout the year.

Museum is small. An easy one hour trip. Always love going to the touring exhibits. The "always viewable" collection has variety but I do often skip it. Check for "free" days.

Some iconic pieces ( Andy Warhol's Soup Can) soft drums and some nice 13th Century strained glass, plus an awesome depression era photography exhibit. It's summer, how about something outdoors, or a small jazz combo making some music in the rotunda?

Small, but distinctive collections. A good way to immerse yourself for a couple hours. No entrance fee, but hourly parking rates apply. Helpful, friendly staff.

Small and Sparce art displayed, maximum details about soft topics. minimal detail explaining the strength of few artist work. Extensive art (50% of floor space) depicting social injustice. A few excellent pieces make this a trip for while (on Thursdays).

Small but great art museum on the beautiful campus of Duke University. Good parking and in walking distance of Duke Chapel and the Sarah Duke Gardens. Ancient art to contemporary art on most recent visit.

The exhibits were wonderful, we visited over the weekend. And the space is huge! However we were asked to go back ALL the way back to the parking lot because our LITTLE backpack purses were an issue (eye roll). We’re not college students and were from out of town and even noticed a few tote style purses and shopping bags that were bigger then our LITTLE backpack purses. A note on the sign at the bottom of the steps would be nice and helpful!!!

Spent time at the restaurant which has a varied selection to cater to most palettes. The service is curtious and speedy. Parking is close or you can find it for free on streets nearby. Definitely worth spending time here if you visit Duke.

Fabulous collection. I recommended this museum to others in the past and considered it a good place to take out of town guests but I might be staying away for a very long time after my visit yesterday. The receptionist would not stop gawking and it is totally unprofessional and insensitive. No one deserves to be treated like that. Completely repressive vibe and creepy.
