About Clark Art Institute

The Clark Art Institute is a world-class art museum located in a small town, offering a remarkable collection that rivals any museum worldwide. Visitors can explore a diverse range of art, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, with works by renowned artists such as Monet, Degas, Homer, Remington, and Casat. The museum also features silver works, fine furniture, and sculptures, as well as outdoor art installations and hiking trails with scenic views. The collection includes interesting tapestry pieces, and a tent camera photo exhibit that some find hard to describe. The building’s minimalist design, surrounded by rolling hills and lush mountains, creates a striking yet elegant presence. Inside, the modern interior combined with reflection pools immediately brings a sense of tranquility. Visitors can enjoy a meal at the on-site Cafe 7, which offers great soup and panini, and browse the museum's gift shop, which is charming and has fair prices. The cafe's simple offerings make it a nice spot to relax after exploring the art. The Clark Art Institute is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and offers something for everyone, with free admission available until the end of March 2024. The current exhibit "A Room of her own: women artists-activists in Britain 1845-1875" was enlightening and moving, adding to the overall memorable experience.
