We came to the Clark for the Dove/Okeefe special exhibit, and as usual were impressed by the depth of the museum's wonderful regular holdings. But the reason for this review was the surprisingly good meal that we enjoyed in their cafe (open only July and August). We've been victims of many museum meals, but tired feet encouraged us to give... more

I went here the other day, and I'm kicking myself for not getting there sooner than now -- they have a wonderful collection of art, American and European, with quite a few nice Impressionist works in particular as well as more realistic works, pieces of silver and china and furniture and even a couple of pianos. And there's free admission... more

It's just amazing that a collection this good could be in such a small town! Monet, Matisse, Renoir, Pissaro, Sargent, Homer, Remington, Turner, Degas, Lautrec and on and on - this is one of the finest collections of impressionist and early modern art I have ever seen. The Clark is a real hidden gem, filled with amazing paintings, sculpture and... more
