Such a mind boggling collection of some of the finest names in art tucked away in this small, highly respected liberal arts college in western Massachusetts. Exhilarating!

Always find something new when viewing the permanent collection. The specials were a very interesting tapestry collection, fascinating to see the back working area of a tapestry, and a tent camera photo exhibit that to me defies description Loved it. Had a nice lunch in the Cafe, great soup and panini.

Such a fine place to visit lots of lovely artwork to look at the member pricing is fair and the staff is friendly and helpful non member rates are reasonable and there is a cute little gift shop.

The collection while spectacular is rather boring. However the building is gorgeous especially the modern edition and the surrounding landscape is just breathtaking. Highly recommend if you like classical and realistic art and also appreciate modern architecture

Another interesting visit to this amazing facility. We became members a few visits ago. Their permanent collections and visiting exhibits will delight. Sitting outside by the reflecting pool or walking on their extensive grounds during Fall Foliage season should not be missed.
We have returned many times to the area and have been able to enjoy this property and exhibits. On the latest visit we were inspired and in awe of the glass exhibits especially the Corning Museum of Glass special exhibit. Don’t miss this opportunity to see it.

What a find. Your ticket good for two days. I didn't know before I got there at 3:30...they close at five. Came back the next day to take it all in. 4 hours at least is needed with no rest. They also have a small Cafe with plenty of seating. Beautiful design interior and exterior grounds with trails. I picked an on-off rainy day just lucky, but the exterior has so much to offer in the sunshine. Don't pass this up.

What a pleasant surprise! Great collection of impressionist and American art in a small college town.

Very nice collection of quality art in a very nice setting. While I expected to see a variety of Impressionism and post impressionism, I didn't expect to see Goya or Botticelli. Pleasant surprise. Loved outdoor sitting next to the museum cafe.

Wonderful permanent collection of French expressionists except for Van Gogh. Interesting paintings by Homer and a few others. Exhibitions are hit or miss. Renoir a few years back was a highlight for me. Wonderful contemporary building design with internal courtyard and pool set against a granite wall. Only wish the food in the cafe wasn’t so awful and low quality, leaving a sour taste in one’s mouth. Perhaps the Board should try it and appreciate that it needs a significant upgrade in line with high entrance fees.

We have been coming here for years and never tire of it. Williamstown is a small college town and The Clark, a private art collection, is unbelievably wonderful. They also have rotating exhibits in addition to the permanent collection, lovely grounds, a great art library, pleasant gift shop and lectures/ concerts.
We've been many times. While the permanent collection is excellent, particularly the impressionists, for me the star attraction is the architecture. I love the integration of building with the grounds, the long walls, the extensive pond,, the landscaping, It is all very soothing to the eye. One criticism: We arrived 10 minutes after the special collection tour had begun and were told we couldnt join it because the tour guide would have to interrupt the tour to get us headsets. We met up with the tour and it consisted of only two people! The galleries were mostly empty and the headsets were unnecessary. Nevertheless, the guide made us feel totally invisible. She wasnt very good so we left the tour anyway but still, the whole experience was bizarre.

Great museum. Always an interesting exhibit and an amazing permanent collection. Their cafe has terrific food and you can eat indoors or outdoors. Beautiful grounds with walking trails.

Great museum with an impressive collection of Renoirs, Monets, Manets, Degas, Pissarro etc. The café isn't bad either. You definitely have to!
