Reviews
The Bennington Museum is an amazing little gem in southern Vermont, specializing in art & artifacts of the state. Our first encounter was in 2016 when the museum mounted an exhibit of Milton Avery's early paintings of Vermont landscapes produced from his experiences there from 1935-43. Avery had an uncanny ability to deconstruct images to a bare minimum of information necessary to perceive the subject. While predating his Color Field years, the paintings still employed a fascinating range of colors, quite provocative (the catalog is still available). The museum's presentation was superb. This year we were treated to a tour of paintings by Anna Mary Robertson "Grandma" Moses. Curator Jamie Franklin is incredibly insightful in his ability to convey the immense talent of this remarkable American artist (catalog also available). All art lovers need to put this place on their list!

Museum staff was helpful and friendly. The Grandma Moses exhibit was fun, light-hearted and the kids loved that the school house was interactive. It was so thoughtful for the museum to have an exhibit were kids are able to touch and play similar to the children in Moses's era. We also enjoyed the pavilion for an outdoor picnic and explored the wildflower walk. A very enjoyable visit! Thank you

Delightful small museum. We saw an excellent retrospective of Grandma Moses paintings in this town which is the home of Bennington College.

Small museum but a very nice collection. The Grandma Moses gallery is the highlight. Check out the hiking trails behind the museum if the weather is good.
