Hooray! -The painting arrived two weeks later as promised. And the negatives: -I emailed the company to inquire about framing, which is one of the options they offer on a purchase, and I never got a response. Ever. -The skimpy packaging scared me a little when it arrived. The painting was wrapped in one layer of that thin sheet styrofoam stuff and placed inside a cardboard box. Upon further inspection, no damage found. Phew! -The 'order status' link they sent me is wildly inaccurate. I already got the painting, but the site still says it will ship in 1-2 weeks. Huh? All in all, an online shop would probably not be my first choice for buying art. But if you're looking for a good price on something you know you like (ie. a piece or artist you've already seen in person), this is a good site to check. I'm happy I found it.

While taking a Saturday afternoon stroll through Midtown Harrisburg, I came across the Susquehanna…read moreArt Museum and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The museum was hosting a free community event featuring live music, local art, and free pumpkin painting, which made for a wonderful addition to an already beautiful day. A few highlights from my visit: Free community events that make art accessible and welcoming to everyone. Live music and hands-on activities that created a fun and lively atmosphere. A beautiful new courtyard space that was perfect for enjoying the afternoon. Friendly and welcoming staff who helped make the experience enjoyable. Clean and well-maintained bathrooms. A great addition to a day spent exploring Midtown Harrisburg. One of the most interesting parts of the museum was the main exhibit space, which incorporates a beautifully refurbished historic bank. Walking through the old vaults and architecture felt like stepping back into the early 1900s, creating a unique contrast with the contemporary artwork on display. A few tips for visitors: Parking can be a bit challenging nearby, especially during events. I recommend parking near Broad Street Market and taking a leisurely walk through Midtown to the museum. Be sure to check the museum's event calendar, as they frequently host special programs, exhibitions, and community events. Overall, the Susquehanna Art Museum offers much more than just art on the walls. Between the historic architecture, engaging exhibits, community programming, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a wonderful cultural destination in Harrisburg. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for something interesting to do in the city, it's absolutely worth a visit.

When I saw on social media that the Pennsylvania State Museum was offering Pay As You Wish…read moreadmission throughout July in celebration of America's 250th birthday, I figured it was the perfect excuse to revisit a place I hadn't been in...about 23 years. I vividly remembered visiting as a kid, especially the planetarium, and since the museum is scheduled to close for major renovations beginning in August, it felt like the right time to see it one last time before the transformation. Normally, adult admission is only $6, but during July visitors could choose what they wanted to pay. My choice? $0. Thank you very much! I arrived around 1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and easily found parking right outside the museum. The weather was beautiful, so I expected most people were outside enjoying the sunshine rather than spending the afternoon indoors. That worked out well for me because the museum never felt crowded, making it easy to explore at my own pace. At the admissions desk, the employee explained that only the second and third floors were open and that the planetarium had already closed in preparation for the upcoming renovations. I'll admit...that was a bit of a bummer. The planetarium was one of the things I remembered most vividly from childhood, and I had been looking forward to experiencing it again. But...you get what you pay for. And in this case, I paid exactly zero dollars. I spent about an hour and a half wandering through the exhibits, and while I enjoyed taking my time, I found myself a little underwhelmed. The highlight of the visit was, without question, standing beneath the towering 18-foot William Penn statue once again. Seeing it as a forty-something adult immediately brought back memories of seeing it as a kid, and that little wave of nostalgia alone made me smile. My biggest disappointment, though, was the number of replica artifacts throughout the museum. I understand that replicas certainly have a place, especially when preserving fragile originals, but I found myself wishing there were more authentic historical objects on display. For me, that's part of what makes museums special. I can see photos and reproductions online. Standing in front of something that actually witnessed Pennsylvania's history is an entirely different experience. I'm not sure whether many of the original artifacts have already been removed because of the upcoming renovations or whether this has always been the museum's approach. Either way, it wasn't what I expected. I also noticed that several exhibit areas were extremely dark, making it difficult to read some of the informational panels. I'm not sure whether that was intentional or simply part of preparing the museum for renovation, but it definitely affected the experience. Overall, I'm glad I went. I satisfied my curiosity. I revisited a piece of my childhood. And I was reminded that Pennsylvania has a fascinating story to tell. That said, I probably don't need to visit again until the renovations are complete...maybe. I'm genuinely hopeful the upcoming improvements will better showcase the history, innovation, creativity and natural beauty of the Keystone State. As a lifelong Pennsylvanian, I'd love to see our state museum become the kind of place that leaves visitors walking out saying, "Wow...I had no idea." When it reopens, I'll consider giving it another chance. Maybe. If they bring back another Pay As You Wish promotion? There would be a stronger chance I'd check it out again.

The State Capitol building is right next door, so it would be easy to combine the two and make a whole day of it. We went to the NJ State Museum in Trenton last spring, and this museum was a lot better. It helps that they charge admission in PA, whereas they do not in NJ, and the money is used to create a clean, informative and well-curated museum. Like NJ, this is a hodgepodge museum of all things related to Pennsylvania, including companies and products created in the state, its Native American and prehistoric histories, notable PA residents, and of most interest to my son, animal dioramas to rival those in the Mammal Halls of the Museum of Natural History in NYC. This museum is big with a ton of interesting things to read and see. For a Saturday in November, it was not that crowded at all. Overall, it's definitely worth seeing at least once and definitely worth the very cheap cost of admission.
