About Tacoma Art Museum
Tacoma Art Museum is a public-spirited institution with nationally
recognized exhibitions and innovative educational programs that attract
thousands of visitors annually to its galleries and events. By making
connections for viewers that may not be instantly obvious, Tacoma Art Museum
has developed a reputation for presenting art in a thought-provoking yet
accessible manner. Tacoma Art Museum has also made a strong commitment to
Northwest art through its acquisition and exhibition programs.
 
Tacoma Art Museum has served Puget Sound citizens since 1935. The museum
embarked on a $27 million capital campaign in 1997 to build a 50,000 square
foot facility and relocated in the cultural district of downtown Tacoma.
Internationally renowned architect Antoine Predock designed the building,
which opened in May 3, 2003. With the increased space and capacity to
present works of art and exhibitions far larger and more complex than ever
before, museum attendance tripled in the first year to 100,000 visitors.
