This museum is a local gem. Situated not too far from the ferry dock on Bainbridge island (perhaps 5 min if you are a slow walker like me), it is a must-see. It may not have classical pieces but is full of eclectic art from local artists and pride. The docents are very friendly, giving out details and revealing interesting information that adds to the background of the art pieces. It's worth checking out this attraction before you venture further into town. Besides, no one would turn down free admission, right?…

This jewel of a museum curates an impressive selection of work in all media by PNW artists and it’s free of charge! Exhibited works change frequently, so there’s always a reason to stop in. It’s not a huge place; a pleasant stroll through could take as little as 30-45 minutes, though there is plenty to immerse yourself in for a longer visit, including the amazing art book room upstairs. We love the gift shop beneath/beside the open stairs to the second floor, which has a nice variety of clever, cozy, and/or beautiful things for all ages. And the cafe in back (BIMA Bistro) on the main floor is a nice quiet place to enjoy a sit down for soups, tarts, hot sandwiches, salads, drinks, and the like. During the summer there are outdoor tables. Finally, they often do hands-on programs, though for young kids you might also want to check out the independent KiddiMu located in a separate building behind BIMA.…

This is a fine small museum with new exhibits regularly. Worth a visit at least monthly! Very convenient to the ferry for walk-offs.

Small, but something for everyone to do or look at. Exhibit for kids on the children's book illustrator and writer was well loved. Jazz concert was nice.
