What reviewers say

Visitors praise the Des Moines Art Center for its carefully selected artworks, including notable pieces by Edward Hopper, Basquiat, and Francis Bacon, and appreciate that admission is free. Some visitors found the newer art less exciting and the permanent collection to be smallish, though temporary exhibits often compensate.
