Seattle Art Museum: Bold Exhibits in the Heart of Downtown

Located just steps from Pike Place Market, the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) brings together global masterpieces, contemporary installations, and thought-provoking exhibits under one roof. It's the city's flagship art institution and an ideal date destination for curious minds and creative conversations. Wander through galleries filled with African masks, Indigenous carvings, and rotating modern art showcases. The building itself is airy and modern, and the museum store and cafe offer great post-visit stops. Admission is paid but includes access to all exhibitions. Whether you're an art lover or just looking for something inspiring and new, SAM delivers a rich cultural experience in the heart of downtown. After your visit, enjoy wine and shared plates at Purple Cafe and Wine Bar, book a romantic lunch with a view at Matt's in the Market, or grab artisan pizza just a few blocks away at Serious Pie.
