Museum of Russian Icons, Clinton

What an incredible Museum this is. I would highly recommend it to anyone to see. The facility is first class all the way, and the docents are very knowledgeable. The "Tea Room" has an illuminated ceiling and three restored jail cells you can visit and research in. Oh my, they are small and cozy, no place I would ever have wanted to visit for real! Opening in 2006 this Museum is a cultural wonder fir the western Suburbs of Boston. In November 2022 two new temporary exhibits opened, "Artists for Ukraine: Transforming Ammo Boxes into Icons" and "Tree of Life: Birch Icons Through the Ages" now thru February 2023

Perhaps the finest collection of Russian Icons outside of Russia itself, displayed on three levels of this jewel of a museum. I visit at least once every year, not only to study their permanent collection, but the temporary and traveling exhibitions that the museum hosts. For those in closer proximity to Clinton, MA, the museum also has educational programs and events. If you have the time, the historic parts of Clinton are also worth seeing, a place once renowned as a center of innovation and production of woven textiles. That industry is gone, but the town is worth exploring.
