They have a student pass which is free!!(Highschool AND college one) the staff was friendly and make sure to check out the small store they have on the first floor. This museum also has free iteams on the bottom floor. Free artwork you can take. The only reason why I don’t think it’s 5 stars is because I wished there was MORE art..?

A good museum for contemporary art. It's big but with a lot of hopeful empty space. It didn't take me that long to finish the displays. The art is beautiful but it needs bigger names to generate more appeal to the masses. Maybe they should reduce the $14 admission fee or just make it a free entry museum. Their gift shop is nice, go check it out. There's a cafeteria but it was closed the day I was there. It's better to get there on public transportation than to hunt for parking spaces. Have a meal after the visit at one of the many nice restaurants nearby.

I went to BAMFA to see one art exhibit and was shocked to see 4 great exhibits in one sitting. I enjoyed the versatility in the museum's curation to balance historical and contemporary work under the same roof. The new faculty was a joy to wander through and I look forward to my future visits. Next time I will have a date with the cafe. 😉

They still have cardamom coffee & that's all that really matters. [Just kidding.] I love that they dedicated the largest space to a local WOC, artist residing in Richmond. Masks are required! Some areas are still being built out/under construction. Rad experience.

Questions & Answers

What are the parking options?

Rita Steiner | Aug 23, 2019

Parking is very difficult unfortunately. The museum does not have its own parking and street parking is scarce in downtown Berkeley. I would recommend parking fairly far away and walking in so you don't have to spend lots of time searching for a spot or pay exorbitant downtown parking fees.

Just received the September/October 2020 BAMPFA From Home. On the inside back cover there are several things listed. Where do I find the Conversation between Richard Walker and Seth Lunine and when is it?

Thanks for asking! The conversation was prerecorded, so you can enjoy it now: https://bampfa.org/event/conversation-richard-walker-and-seth-lunine, and on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/bampfa. Let us know what you think!

I'm pretty sure dogs are not allowed. There may be an exception for seeing-eye dogs.

is there parking available?

There's a pair of university paid parking around the corner on Addison. I don't believe that BAMPFA has any separate spaces.
