Currier Museum of Art
The collection moves from Renaissance painting to modern sculpture, while the Zimmerman and Kalil houses make domestic architecture part of the museum.
Artwork inspired by Maxfield Parrish
European and American art meets two Frank Lloyd Wright houses. The collection moves from Renaissance painting to modern sculpture, while the Zimmerman and Kalil houses make domestic architecture part of the museum. Together, Wright house geometry, European galleries, and modern sculpture turn that broad subject into a sequence of specific things a visitor can actually examine.
Pair one focused gallery circuit with a prebooked house tour instead of trying to absorb every period. House tours sell separately and leave on schedule; exhibition changes can close individual galleries. Leave enough attention for modern sculpture; it often supplies the context that makes Wright house geometry more than an isolated highlight.
