Cool mostly modern museum. Late night Thursday and w free concert maybe free for all after 3pm ?. The atrium is gorgeous and music is tasteful. Some big names like Joan Mitchell abstracts featured in Masterworks platform. Parking on their lot is free. They also own 2 frank Lloyd wright homes nearby. The spring/summer tours are often sold out in advance on weekends. I haven't been able to get mine!
We spent some time experiencing the museum's collections and had lunch at the Café delicious! before our main purpose of being there, which was touring the 2 Frank Lloyd Wright designed homes the museum owns. The home tours were fantastic, with very knowledgeable and personable docents. We would like to go back and spend more time at the museum itself. We highly recommend the museum, the cafe' and the home tours.
Fantastic local museum in a beautiful facility. The staff is very friendly and unobtrusive. The works on display are unique and they have a nice cafe if you need to take a break between exhibition halls. Definitely recommend if you are in Manchester.
Beautiful space with an expansive collection of works across many ages & styles. I love getting to see a Picasso, a Monet, and a Hopper in a smaller museum with more intimate viewing. I went prior to the FLW houses tour and combined the experience was a perfect day!Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$31+
"Art After Work" is Brilliant! Hopped in last Thursday between 5 and 8pm, for the free "Art After Work" event; and the gentle folksy music was the perfect way to end the day... There's Sangria in the Winter Garden Cafe, and the Museum is open for strolling during the show. Wonderful and Relaxing. Will definitely be back for another one, the next time I'm in Manchester.
An amazing museum, though compact, has a lot of variety. You'll find some nice European art, as well as American art, including several paintings from the Hudson Valley school. There's some nice modern and contemporary art, as well. The American crafts are nice, as well.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A lovely museum. Many interesting and creative pieces. Anyone who works here is terrific and professional. My rice bowl of "smoked salmon" poke with hard boiled eggs in the bottom was "a lot" less than what I expected. Coffee was great and service was excellent! Tons of dedicated parking spots.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
There is a lot to see.. the whole museum can be done in 45 mins - 1 hour.. highlight pieces are Monet, Picasso, and they had a Van Gogh piece.. I definitely recommend it
Absolutely amazing and beautiful time spent on MLK day. Well orchestrated tour and community mural, and getting to hear Richard Haynes speak about his upbringing and art truly inspired me
Excellent small museum in Manchester NH, American and European sculptures and art work of special interest was WPA in NH, and 9/11 art. Definitely worth a visit
