ArtLens Gallery

ArtLens is an experiential gallery that puts you—the viewer—into conversation with masterpieces of art, encouraging engagement on a personal, emotional level allowing you, your family, and your friends to look closer, dive deeper, and have fun discovering the museum’s collection using award-winning digital technology. 

ArtLens Gallery is an innovative space at the CMA which combines the museums permanent collection and interactive technology, with the goal of inspiring visitors to connect with the museum’s collection with greater curiosity confidence, and understanding. ArtLens Gallery includes ArtLens Studio, ArtLens Exhibition, ArtLens Wall and the ArtLens App. Initially launched in December 2012, the space was previously known as Gallery One. 

Create your own digital artwork in ArtLens Studio, engage with masterworks of art and touchscreen-free interactives in ArtLens Exhibition, and connect with the museum’s world-renowned collection at ArtLens Wall. Use ArtLens App to save the artworks you learn about and photos you take during your experience, and then map your visit throughout the museum using the app’s responsive wayfinding technology. 

The ArtLens Gallery is located on Level One of the museum. Enter either by going through the museum's main entrance and turning left, or from the Ames Family Atrium.
