Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is located in downtown, one block from Pike Place Market. The museum exhibits global art collections, temporary installations, and special exhibitions from around the world bridging cultures and centuries. On the first Thursday of each month, the Seattle Art Museum offers free admission to all exhibitions for all visitors.
