On an early December Friday,I visited this small art museum which has a nice sampling of Art from the different periods of European History(Renaissance,Baroque,18th Century.).I especially appreciated the following paintings;Niccolo Pisano'sHoly Family With Saint Scholastica,Joos Mompers the Younger'sLandscape With Pilgrims at Grotto,Jacob Duck'sServing Wine To Officer in Guardroom,Jacob Van Ruisdael'sWheatfield With Church,Bathasar Van Den Bossche'sPainter's Studio,Luigi Loir'sRue De La Sainte Le Val de Grace(19th Century),and Walter Greaves'Whistler by the Thames(19th Century) As for American Art,I especially relished the followung paintings;William Glackens'Hillside Near Cannes,Henry O. Tanner'sMary,Julius Bloch'sTired Travellers,and Fred Hyder'sHopeful,a fine Contemporary work.At this free art museum,I liked the intimacy of this art museum and the hekpfulness of its staff.

Who knew? This is a great little museum with a fine selection of art works. Most are European and American paintings from the Renaissance to the present, but there's a nice selection of sculpture, African carvings, and more. There's a touch of humor too--a storm sewer pipe in the Contemporary gallery is labeled as if it were a work of art.
