Top 10 Museums in Spokane, Washington (WA)

June 1, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

A mixture of urban chic and outdoor adventures, Spokane has something for everyone. Taste food by James-Beard-nominated chefs at Sante or The Wandering Table. Listen to live music at The Bartlett or the symphony at the iconic Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox. Glide over the breathtaking Spokane Falls, situated right downtown, in the SkyRide, rated as one of the world’s best gondolas. Kids can feed the Garbage-Eating Goat or slide down the giant Radio Flyer Red Wagon in Riverfront Park.

Avenue West Gallery

An artists' co-op gallery, this shop offers paintings, photography, woodworking, fabric arts, jewelry, pottery, metal sculpture, greeting cards and more. It is staffed by the artists, so each visit is a chance to meet one of them. While there is more nature art than anything else, there is great variety.

Walking through history and learning about the social life, economic variables, art, and religion are so very interesting. History was not my strong subject in school but I can appreciate it much more now that I have time and can afford the experience. Thank you to those who have invested and preserved historical artifacts and documents.

This is a fun and engaging hands-on science center that kids will love, and learn a lot while having great fun. As an adult, its hard not to try out some of the exhibits, and that’s encouraged as well. The staff is wonderful. They wander around the space periodically to check on how you’re doing and answer questions. Every city should have a science center this wonderful. Bravo Mobius!

An amazing museum in itself. The highlight of my trip to Spokane over Thanksgiving weekend. The Norman Rockwell Exhibit left me speechless. He was so much more than an artist. He depicted time I was unaware of as a child.

Before heading down the road, home to Pullman, I decided to pay a visit to the Jundt Museum. I am so glad I did! An exhibition of the four full time Gonzaga fine art faculty members is on display. It was an excellent exhibition! Do not miss it. It is worth your time.
