Story

Although it may be well known that the Farnsworth is the premier destination for lovers of the Wyeth family's artistic legacy, the museum has a wide range of artists, styles, and influences in its collection. The Farnsworth also hosts great exhibits and art events, some of which are available for free to the community.

It is spread out to two buildings plus the homestead. So much to see. Loved seeing the sketches in one building and then finished watercolors in the next. It's affordable and worth the visit.

We visited as we were in the area for a family event and had free entry due to a reciprocal art membership, other wise this place might be a little expensive for what it is. That said, it did have a decent and varied collection of art, with a focus on Maine and there is a lovely garden with a small sculpture park and a further gallery across the street out the back in a old church. Enough to entertain younger kids, but realise it isn't geared towards little children too. The museum store is also very good. Plenty of on street parking around the place as well.
