A sweet little museum of decorative arts in a sketchy neighborhood. Includes a nice collection of arts and crafts pottery and mid century furniture. Not curated in a coherent pattern and lacks much background information on what's displayed. But if you like decorative arts it's worth a trip.

We live just up the street from this museum and take all of our out of town guests here. We are members and also go often. An incredible collection of decorative arts in a one-of-a-kind setting.

Artwork and designs in furniture, glass and ceramics. There's a new and exciting discovery around every corner.

Inside is a Barnes collection styled display of amazing decorative art with an extensive collection of Kirkland other paintings... More

What a splendid treat it was to tour the Kirkland! The experience was greatly enhanced by the guidance of Christine, the volunteer docent.
