What an interesting family of artists the Andersons were, and this museum does a great job of documenting this family's history and artistic influence on the area. 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.

Without knowledge of who I am, and what I like, you may not understand why I like what I like. You also won't know if you should discount my reviews as the ramblings of a self-centered lunatic, or if you should maybe give them some weight when making a decision. So I preface this review by dropping some knowledge about me that may help you. I love folk art, funky art, and art created by folks influenced by the MS Gulf Coast. I don't know if I would describe Walter Anderson's stuff as folk art or funky art, but he was most definitely influenced by this area that I happen to love. It's not what I would describe as fancy pants or highfalutin, but it is most definitely my kind of art. Realizations is chock full of Walter Anderson originals. There are books of prints, postcards, clothing, bookmarks, large scale prints, and everything else you can think of. Pieces range from a few dollars for a card or bookmark to more expensive for some of the lager pieces. On my most recent trip I picked up some bookmarks for myself and to give as a gift (I'm a classy dude). I suspect there will be several more trips in my future as well. You made it this far? Nice! Now get your butt to this shop.

I was not expecting to see such a cute small town with a lot of eateries, boutiques, a semi-hilly beach town. Very cute and a lot of the houses are cottages.

The roads seemed to all be lined with large trees, the harbor full of boats. Very easy to get around here. I don't know why I haven't ever come here before.

Everywhere I visited the locals were super friendly and it is easy to get around everywhere. Charming place to visit or live.
