Surprisingly large and interesting collection, located in beautiful Northampton. Couldn't finish a visit here in a single visit. And it is affordable. Definitely recommended!

My fifth visit here and Im always awed! The collection is world class, with works from the masters as well as lesser known, extremely talented artists. I'm not into modern art, but found myself very impressed with the selection here. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was no self guided tour available, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars, but most of the pieces had a write up. I also loved the American artists representation. Easy to spend 3 hours here

Such a fun and quieting experience. Sometimes you forget how a nice undergraduate museum can be. It was a diverse selection, very professionally displayed. I enjoyed my time here
