Free Art Museum Visit: Frye Museum Modern Collections

Step into the Frye Art Museum for a fresh mix of classical paintings and cutting-edge exhibits, completely free to visit. Tucked into Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, the Frye offers a quieter, more intimate experience than the city’s larger museums. Inside, you’ll find 19th-century European works alongside thought-provoking pieces by local and international artists. The airy galleries and rotating exhibitions keep things interesting, whether you're a returning visitor or stopping in for the first time. It's the perfect low-key date for creative conversation or simply enjoying something beautiful together.

After exploring, walk to Monsoon for modern Vietnamese fare, Spinasse for handmade pasta, Communion for soulful comfort food, or Skillet Diner for laid-back American favorites.
