We spent about an hour in the Susquehanna Art Museum on an overnight visit to Harrisburg. There's no permanent collection so it's more "gallery" than "museum" which means your enjoyment of the museum could change depending on which couple of artists are currently exhibiting. It's a nice building with an interesting history...a converted bank building with a small room that used to be the bank's safe. Probably the coolest thing in the museum was the closeup views you got to see of the still attached safe doors. The staff was very friendly, including the volunteer in the main gallery who might not have seen another person for years, we thought, based on the amount of time he enthusiastically spent telling us about the featured artist. It was also cool that they had an open / working studio...although nothing was going on there when we happened to be there in the mid-afternoon. If we lived in Harrisburg, we'd probably stop in periodically to see new exhibitions as they opened. If you're just visiting Harrisburg, this will only take a little bit of your day to see.

They have very inexpensive drawing supplies and wonderful art. The staff is amazingly nice and friendly. This is a place to leave your children 10 and under at home due to the nudity shown in the art work upstairs.

Great little museum. A gem in downtown Harrisburg. Lots of great food nearby. Worth a visit.
