Loveland Museum

Lady the desk was very kind and informative, sorry didn’t get her name. Some of museum is free some isn’t. Worth learning my about Loveland and the sugar beets!

Came to see the Ansel Adams exhibit of Manzanar. Very sobering. This little museum is a hidden gem in Loveland. We also saw 2013 flood timeline and pictures, and all about the Great Western sugar factory from days gone by.

Great little permanent history museum and the current exhibit on currency was interesting.

What a fun Mother's Day outing! Took in the The Governor's Art Exhibit and saw some new things I hadn't experienced before.

Great collection of local historical features and lots of well curated local art.

We love to visit the museum for their new exhibits. The exhibits in the main gallery are quite varied and unique and they rotate every several months so there's usually something new to see. The core exhibit does an excellent job highlighting the local sugar beet industry history which is an amazing story of what contributed to the community's growth.

We return frequently and would highly recommend the exhibit that opened just recently - Ansel Adams photos at Manzanar interment camp in 1943. Just excellent work that truly captures life in the camp! A must see!

This is a really special place. I had no idea the main entry was free and I was impressed by how large and expensive the exhibit was. I was exploring with my sister and we honestly had a blast together looking around and learning together. The museum is really clean and well maintained overall as well.

The history of Loveland and most of the museum is free. It's adorable, I love how they layed it out. Huge topographical map upstairs! There's a $7 admissions fee to an art gallery in the same building which is neat. They also have a downstairs for a kids art gallery which was so cute. The lady at the front was very nice (I think her name was Jennifer, but I may be wrong)

I live nearby and try to come here multiple times a year at minimum. Recently I went through the weaving exhibits 6 times with a different person each time because as a weaver I wanted my close people in my life to see these exhibits with me.
I'm disabled and sometimes I use my mobility aid and other time I can't. The Loveland Museum has 2 wheelchairs available for those who need it for their time at the museum, staff is very kind and accommodating. There's enough space within the museum galleries to move around in the wheelchair the museum provides.

There are many free exhibits. Some are only there for a limited time, most of the museum is permanent about the history of Loveland Colorado. My favorite fixed exhibit is the one on our sweetheart Valentine Remailing program that runs every February.
There is one paid exhibit and the museum offers discounts on the tickets for elderly and low income people, the full price tickets are much lower than tickets for museum exhibits at larger museums such as Denver Museum.

Excellent hometown museum! Love the current exhibition New York/New York: The Avant-Garde from Mid-Century. Loved the wood block prints in this collection. Thanks! Here are some highlights.

A great value, and the staff was very friendly. It had much more to it's exhibits than I expected. The topographic map model on the second floor is incredible, especially if you're local and can pick out familiar sights. They have clean bathrooms and cold water fountains, which is highly appreciated.

I love this museum. It offers so much information about the history of the area and it’s free. Adults and children will both enjoy it. You can pay to see the recent exhibit if you choose.

Great local historical museum! I live going to small town museums to learn about their history. It's always hit or miss on the quality. This one is well done and informative. Good information on the history of Loveland, and a devoted space to rotating exhibits - currently housing an Ansel Adams collection featuring Japanese Internment Camps. Also, located in the downtown area, so you have a lot of restaurant choices to round out the experience. Again, well done!

Despite its location and size this museum provides a deep look into the art and history of the wild west and loveland Colorado specifically. The knowledge and experience of the staff is wonderful, especially if you have children as it is really engaging to have them go over the historical way people lived and mountain men operated. A really delightful experience and a great family or class activity

I was lucky enough to attend a new exhibit that was designed by Emily Baker and the rest of the museum team. It was really cool to see the archaeological process, and the treasures it yielded from a town buried underwater for decades. The mainstays of the museum were informative, and I appreciated the attention to detail they provided. The sugar girls were quite scary though.

Wonderfully curated exhibits! It's apparent there is a lot of care and intention that is put into each exhibit.

The Governors Art Show features some spectacular art. Better than most art shows I've seen. Look for artists from Evergreen!

The permanent display is cool and the rooms you can walk through are also cool. The tiny gallery in the front to the left is great but almost too small. The last show I went to there was amazing though, the fiber arts show in the small room was very busy and then they had a display of photos and paintings all based around the Incarceration Camps that the Japanese had to deal with. A lot of that history is skipped in school, or it was for me. There was also a small immersive art production that had me in tears. All in all I love this little museum.

Nice little museum that exhibited the history of Loveland along with work from various artists. We had the opportunity to see the last day of the Michael Friedman photography exhibit as well as the John Mellencamp special art exhibits. The museum was free but the Mellencamp exhibit did come with a cost. Good way to spend an hour or so of your afternoon.

I LOVE local museums, we learn so much about the town and their thriving industries. We enjoyed our time at this museum, all the exhibits were interesting.
