Dominic, the docent, made our visit so very memorable! He was so kind, supportive, and willing to teach my four and six year old boys literally around every corner. I learned so much from him and will remember this afternoon and how he touched our family for years to come. This museum has a beautiful selection of a wide range of historic and modern pieces from around the world. It is also free and on a gorgeous campus with pretty accessible street parking. Store has a small selection of lovely magnets and keychains, but bring cash/check.

A small (free) gallery with an interesting collection covering ancient to current time. An interesting ongoing work encourages you to add your own input. There's also currently a fun installation consisting of a pile of candy that you're encouraged to sample. Yum! If you're in the area, it's well worth a look. The grounds and Chapel are another reason to go. Free 2 hour parking for visitors.

I like visiting college and university art museums, as you're never really sure what you might encounter in the collections. My alma mater is no exception. So to visit the collection at Vassar was also treat. It's a small collection of of varied works, but they have a little something for nearly everyone.

What a surprisingly sweet little art museum! All the art is beautifully displayed, the space is lovely and full of light, the art is really nice, and there are quite a few works by famous artists. There was a thought provoking temporary exhibit as well.

Small free gallery but houses some impressive works. My faves were Singer-Sargent’s Grindewald watercolor sketch, the Schumer wrapped vermeers, the Church paintings, the Calder pedestal, Gifford’s sketchbook, and the Stella sculpture in the garden.
