I couldn't believe we have lived an hour away and hadn't beeen to this high quality museum in a fabulous setting. The cafe is also excellent. It's also free admission if you arrive before noon.

Good place to bring your kids and your family to look at all that art has to offer. Picasso work has been shown at this place and its a very nice art gallery to visit if you pass by.

Picasso, Monet, several Dutch masters. Eakins, O'keefe, Sargent, Tarbell, Wyeth, Hopper....if any of these famous artists are known to you, you will enjoy their collection. There are several pieces of wonderful antique furniture, with craftsmanship we can only dream about in todays' offerings. The presentations and descriptions are 1st rate, and there is a large well lit restaurant for lighter... More

Visiting this museum, along with the Zimmerman House, is great way to spend the morning or afternoon in Manchester. The collection is quite good for a museum this size. It is a great place for families with children to begin have the art museum experience without having to brave Boston or NY.

The design and flow of this museum is both friendly and pleasant. It is nicely lit for viewing and spacious enough without being overwhelming. They have recently acquired a Monet that is purported to be the first impressionistic painting that he painted at age 27. I also enjoyed the cafe for lunch. Their menu was diverse and interesting. On Saturdays... More

What a gem - just the right size! We found a new Monet, explored the art of Japan, saw what life would be like on the edge... and had an amazing lunch in the winter garden (popcorn is to die for). worth a drive - really nice collection - nice staff.
