I great afternoon escape! We sometimes forget how special New England is!
Very nice modern museum with a nicely varied collection. Definatly worth a visit.
Charming regional museum. There is parking across the street and it's a short walk from the commuter rail so highly accessible. The entrance is wheelchair accessible accessible.nnThe experience of this museum is very pleasing. I like my museums full of unexpected corners and varied spaces and the Cape Ann museum does not disappoint. You can wander from intimate galleries of artwork and folk and historical art and artifacts into soaring spaces accented by monumental sculptures in settings of warm, honey brown woodwork so the overall sensual atmosphere is delightful and stimulating. The artwork itself ranges from the classical fine arts to the raw, daily expression of folk art and artifacts. Whimsy and profundity are side by side, giving a rich and textured feel for the region.nnParking is metered lot. There is a reasonable fee for museum entrance. If you plan a day trip, you can find a range of dining nearby. I am planning a return before long to try the Portuguese restaurant not far from the museum since Portuguese fish stew is one of the joys of life. You can feed mind, soul, and body on the same trip!
Gloucester's sailing history is elegantly on display at our wonderful Cape Ann Museum. The building is deceptively small from the outside, but its many rooms hold much of interest, including the schooners and sailing ships portrayed by local and visiting artists. My friend Armand Sindoni, a fine Gloucester artist himself, would surely approve. Go see it all and take someone. There is much to enjoy, including a one of a kind seafood cookbook by our local Justin Demetri at the Museum bookstore.
We had a lovely time at the Cape Ann Museum this past week, viewing the Winslow Homer exhibit, which was beautifully hung and researched. The curators went to great lengths to find work from this period of Homer's career and put together an intelligent, engaging show. I have two small criticism's regarding CAM. There is only one small restroom on the first floor of the museum, which had a line waiting, so to access the other restroom, I had to walk from the third floor all the way to the cellar. My husband and I drove from Cape Cod to see the exhibit and spent a good deal of time viewing the work. It may seem petty, but there were no chairs or benches in the exhibit, and since we are older, I walked out of the exhibit twice to sit in chairs and take a break in another part of the museum. So, while the show was wonderful, a few small conveniences for the viewing audience would have made for a better museum experience.
