For a small college art museum, and one only a short way from a very good commercial museum (the Clark), it had remarkably good exhibits in a well-designed quiet space. I learned some things - for me the mark of a good museum.

Took a chance and was delighted to find such diversity of works. Well annotated. Great space to view the works. Mid week, mid-April, empty. Nice treat to be able to linger in front of works.
This is a small museum, especially when compared to MassMOCA. What's great about it is you can see almost every style of museum quality art in this space. Quiet and well lit, it's wonderful place for reflection. It's not so restrained, though, that you can't take 4 small kids on a rainy day like we did.
Not competing with the Clark, and interesting exhibits in its own right. Enjoyed the educational theme of trying to get the viewer to think about art.
Very nice museum, took two kids, 7 & 11 they enjoyed it as well. Can go through it in 1-2 hours and see everything, nice layout and very nice colections.
We enjoyed this museum. It was a nice collection of art. It was displayed in a very unusual way, not grouped by period. Gallery space was very well designed.
This museum is a short drive for us. None of our children went there tho when one visited-we said we wanted to return. Drove on a rainy day in May-pretty town and drive. The museum staff was very helpful and polite. The exhibits were marvelous-lots to see but doable in one day. We even had a excellent lunch in the...

The Clark is not a large museum by big city standards, but the collection and special exhibits are quite excellent. The physical location is quite special as well.
I have been to this museum twice. Once to see the Impressionist Exhibition and last year, to see the Picasso Exhibition. Never disappointed. Their permanent collection is eclectic and beatiful.
Dropped by after visiting the Clark. It has a good-sized exhibition, with a mix of older and newer pieces. They definitely put in a lot of thought and effort in choosing the art and in talking about it. Should not be missed.
