Currier Museum of Art

An excellent mid-sized museum. Large collections ranging from ancient to modern. Wonderful gallery space and the cafe’s food was great. I am beyond impressed by their not 1 but 2 excellent Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian homes available for tours. Both are in remarkably good condition. We went way way out of our way to see this museum and it was so very worth it.

This is a lovely museum and well worth a visit!! I had a wonderful time and the staff was so friendly :) I spent about 1.5 hours looking around and felt that was the perfect amount of time to see everything without getting tired. I also really appreciated how curated the collection was — it wasn’t just a hodgepodge of different pieces of art, there was a lot of thought that went into how to present each piece and what went with what!

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.

This museum is amazingly beautiful! The art in the museum are a must see, especially the van Gogh and Picasso. The glass artwork exhibit is one of the biggest collections I've seen.

I only had 45 mins for here, so there is no time for that famous old building tour. The front desk employee was nice and told me I could have a free ticket if I'm BOA credit card users. When I walked in, more employee told me the sections and explained the art what they displayed. I got art freshed and good mood in that short 45 mins. Very nice. 😊

What a great museum, small but awesome. Recommend it combine with tour to Zimmerman and Kali houses. On Sunday in cafe there is life music.

This smaller museum is a gem! The displays make sense and demonstrate a depth in their collection. If you are able to spend an hour or two you will be rewarded by a pleasant experience. They also have a peaceful courtyard cafe.
