Brimming with contemporary works artists from Idaho and the Northwest, this downtown gallery entices passersby to browse its collection. Every medium is offered in the individual and group exhibits on display. From paintings of fragile pink-petaled flowers to bolder, more evocative pieces, J. Crist Gallery will please a variety of tastes. The gallery, which is attracting national and international artists, also offers specialized services such as creative framing options, collection development, hanging suggestions and shipping.
History buffs should journey to Nampa, about 20 minutes west of Boise, to view this rare collection of artifacts from World War II. Old war planes, uniforms, cameras, photos, engines and more are on display. Visitors can also explore Japanese and German memorabilia. Some of the museum's planes were used for the film Pearl Harbor. Guided tours are available and usually last about an hour.
