This museum is an absolute must-see for anyone who appreciates art, quirky attractions, local history, etc. There is easy, free parking by the museum and a cute, delicious coffee shop right behind it as well. I definitely recommend spending the day walking around and exploring this very arts-friendly community.

Stop by here if you have some time.

There is everything from fine oils to watercolors to pottery to clothing to jewelry (they carry NO mignon faget). There is something for just about everyone here. There was no hard sells and the staff was very knowledgeable about the artists and their art. There is even a space in the back for an artist in residence to paint while visitors watch. No one was painting on the sleepy Thursday morning when I stopped in but the easel and a work in progress were set up.

Anybody who is in the area, or just passing through, be sure to visit the Walter Anderson museum…read more His block print, watercolors and ceramics have become iconic representations of the Gulf Coast and an integral part of the contemporary American art movement. His color palette is extraordinary, employing almost no primary colors, only pastels. The museum itself is a contemporary work of art itself, showing the artist's original works very beautifully. There is even an original section of the artist's home, now an adjunct to the museum, displaying walls fully covered with the artist's prodigious talent. The artist's beloved skiff is on display, rather clumsily suspended from the ceiling, showing only its bottom. The artist was also a woodworker, and his patio table and benches make a very practical statement, contrasting mightily with his otherwise whimsical art. Other worthy artists are also displayed here. It's breathtaking to visit this museum.
