The Currier Museum of Art is a nice small art museum that offers a lot. The museum has works by renowned artists such as Monet, Hopper, Cole, Homer, and Wyeth. There are also traveling exhibits and a nice collection of contemporary art. What sets the museum apart are its tours of its two Frank Lloyd Wright designed houses. The two houses are the Zimmerman House and The Kalil House are the only two Frank Lloyd Wright houses built in New England. The museum puts together a nice tour of the houses led by volunteer docents. The tours present the history of the houses and the architectural ideas and genius of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Zimmerman House is probably the better of the two houses. However, at the Kalil House you can actually use the furniture and touch different objects in the house. This is unique for most houses designed by Wright, as at most other houses you cannot do this. Both houses were designed by Wright in his later career. Photography is allowed at both houses as well. If going to the museum you should sign up online for the tour of the two houses. The tour takes two hours with a bus ride provided by the museum. The tours are popular so you will need to sign up early. The house tour price includes admission to the museum. The museum offers both great works of art and architectural history.

Relaxing. Quiet. Enjoyable. Interesting. Thesaurus. Words. Oops 😬! A mixture of modern and what would be considered classic art from mainly Europe 🌍 and the US, including sculptures and furniture available for close up viewing. A few of the pieces, such as the Van Gogh, have a rope in front with a motion detector, but you can get up close to study the pieces. There are benches and a few chairs to sit and observe the 🎨 paintings. I had a brief tour with one guide and learned of the history of the museum. I learned of a free admission Saturday that happens each month from the Hippo 🦛 Press newspaper 📰. There is a small Andy Warhol exhibit which is mostly videos he took of people looking into the camera for several minutes. Celebrities such as Bob Dylan and Lou Reed are shown. This exhibit had been at the museum 🖼️ for about 10 years. There is a restaurant/cafe available. Elevator for the disabled. Gift shop as well. My daughter is involved with the art 🎨 program that the museum offers. If you enjoy art 🎨, check it out!

Went here in high school and had to come back when I visited my home state. Beautiful art and exhibits. I was asked to keep my backpack at my side, very politely, not like you'd wear a backpack. But the option of putting my backpack away or in a locker was largely stressed. Even after I mentioned I needed my bag because I carried necessary emergency meds in it. Then was constantly followed and watched by the same 3 people. Even the initial person who told me to keep it at my side and was pressing about putting my bag away said "the Lourve let's people use backpacks like that but not us haha" other than that great art work and informational pieces with them. Still would recommend but I guess maybe bring a purse and not backpack if you have to carry emergency meds like me?

The museum and gift shop were excellent on my visit. The collection of art was varied and well done. I loved how the American Art was displayed and information on the placards was interesting and gave a vision into what was going on with the artists. I finally learned why Rouault outlines his figures in black. He studied stained glass! The cafe needs some spicing up in the food. I recommend eating before or after visiting. The gift shop professional was helpful with product information and general information.

Worth the hour drive from boston. Great display and dont miss the Wright houses tour. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and very nice and outgoing. Exhibitions are somewhat disorganized, but it has its charm. Dont miss the patio cafe.
