It's quite interesting to have a museum in the midst of the college town. It's in existence due to…read moreongoing art donations to the college. The museum's history dates back to 1917. The building was designed in an Italian Renaissance-style that truly stands out at the campus. I first drove by the museum months ago and was struck by its gorgeous exterior. I intended to visit for a while and then had the perfect excuse - Picturing Paris: Monet and the Modern City exhibit. I invited my mom to enjoy the museum with me. AMBIANCE: The museum is an architectural gem - gorgeous arches, ornate ceilings, angel fountain, and spacious room housing famous art. Dare I call it the little CMA, it has so many various works of art on two floors. There are so many remarkable works I didn't expect to see in a small college town. Works by Degas, Monet, Rubens, Rodin, Cézanne, Chagall, Warhol, Renoir, Sisley, Pissaro, Modigliani, and more. Sculpture, fabrics, prints, vases, and paintings can all be found at the museum. The collection seems very eclectic and has various styles of art all intermingling. That's due to donations being received for years from multiple collectors. They might have been better organized but the collection is so impressive that it really doesn't matter. Monet exhibit occupies one of the rooms and features four paintings. I always thought that Monet only paints fancy swamps but he apparently had an era of city landscapes. The painting are so gorgeous and have his signature precise paint strokes. Must see! SERVICE: Most of the museum workers were very friendly except security. I was actually disgusted with the security guard's behavior. The security guard approached me and asked if I wanted to turn in my coat. There was no coat check indicated anywhere so it was an odd request. He then told me that my coat is all over the place and I must be careful around art. He said this in a very rude and confrontational manner, later stared me down from every corner of the museum. It was wild to say the least. I did not approach art closely, simply held my coat against me, and was in no way disruptive or loud. I respect art very much so this was uncalled for. I visited many world's museums but never had such a disturbing interaction. It was shameful and not at all welcoming. It was not even in line with any museum culture. He could have asked the same thing in a polite way without singling me out, being rude, or staring at me in a belligerent and intimidating manner. This interaction ruined my whole experience. ADMISSIONS: The museum is open to the public, professors, and students. Entrance is free of charge to all. That even applies to special exhibit like Monet. No bookings in advance, just arrive! Incredible! Donations and museum shop are available in case you're interested in supporting the museum. PARKING: Parking is available onsite. There is also plenty of parking by the square. The area is very walkable in case you're interested in doing some shopping, going to the movies, or dining nearby. The museum's ornate building and art collection are impressive. Make sure that you view the museum from the windows on the first floor for extra wow factor. While I loved the museum, I hated security's unwelcoming and targeted behavior. I'd rather visit a museum where I can enjoy art without drama. Due to this interaction, I don't plan to return.

Our first year was messed up by COVID but I can't believe I've been on this campus at least 5 times since then and I've never been here before. Today's visit was absolutely breathtaking. I'm still lost in thought. It was so beautiful. Totally free. Not crowded. Quiet. Smelled gorgeous. Drenched in sunlight. Stunning. I want to go back tomorrow!

The long gravel drive is lined by a fruit orchard. We were lucky and it rained for a brief stint during our tour.
