I have attended many exhibits here over the years. Admission is free to UW Students and Retirees. Just about always, there is a small or large photographic exhibit from the Monsen collection. It is so hard to find good photograph exhibits. In the past I attended a Robert Misrach exhibit, and currently the Chuck Close exhibit is so provocative and interesting! The museum "guards" should be engaged by any visitors in conversation. They are knowledgeable about the exhibits. On entrance to the Henry, the admission desk will ask you to store your coat and carry items in a locker - and they will even provide you a quarter to use to lock the locker. Be sure to return the quarter to the nice people behind the desk.

I really like what the Henry had when I went there. They had modern art exhibitions (as I think they always do). The pieces were provocative (edgy) and thought-provoking (clever). The vibe is countercultural, young, and irreverent - at least by the standards of a large and relatively ancient university. Its a nice contrast to the bureaucracy and general corporate-ness of the university as a whole. The pieces are generally well-executed yet accessible. The gallery seems to reflect the edgy aspects of the university and the University District. Its a nice representation of the sassy, cutting-edge approach the university and many of the students aspire to.

I visit 3 or 4 times a year, especially when theres a new exhibit. Always something interesting and one or more pieces stand out, stay in mind. Displays are not crowded--no attempt to get all the art possible on a wall (even though thats a funky charm of the Frye). A gallery of the Henry caliber on a university campus, accessible to the public, nominal fee (if any) is a gift. It even moves some peeps to write crabby reviews. Theres something for everyone at the Henry Art Gallery

FREE: Henry members; UW students, faculty, and staff; students, and children. $10 General Admission $6 Seniors (62+) Museum entrance is free to everyone on Sundays. We are also free every First Thursday. You can also check out a free pass to the Henry (and many other area museums) through the Seattle Public Library.

I wish I came here more when I was a student. Theres usually events going on promoting exhibitions happening in this gallery. The exhibitions are usually pretty interesting and the outdoor egg dome thing is always fun to lie down in! Definitely worth a free visit if youre a student or First Thursdays :)

A decent modern art exhibit, but its definitely a student-level collection. There isnt a lot here and what there is wont blow you away. If you can get free admission, go. If you have to pay the sticker price its just decent. There are better attractions on UWs campus.

This jem of an art gallery is tucked inside the campus but is open to the public. They show interesting contemporary art and have an art studio for your young budding artist to create their own masterworks with construction paper, markers and glue sticks.

A very ambitious and art enriching experience every time I go. I have begun to make the effort of visiting every few months because some very vital art experiences are usually on view.Very much worth the effort to fight the university traffic and parking.

Great building, challenging exhibits of modern art. Great special exhibit on Chuck Closes photographs when we were there. Turrell light installation is well worth a visit if the weather is good and they can open the roof.

Their open hours are so pathetic. IF you are a working student you have no chance. There should be an online tour for those of us who have other obligations.

Wonderful installations always manage to find their way to this small gallery. The main showroom always has something that is capable of blowing your mind.

Kevin Caravaggio

Quirky space for art. Near campus, and easily accessible to students. Otherwise, not that interesting in my opinion, if you arent a UW student.

Alaina Zboralski

Great variety of quality art installations. Went to the Chuck Close exhibit and that cool balloon room exhibit!

Very good art collections, especially the parts that portray the history of Seattle through photographs.

Quiet a many things to observe and learn. I would rate one of the good museums to visit.
