On Orange Street in Manchester, NH, sits a small museum, named the Currier Museum of Art. Established in 1929, the Currier added a contemporary addition for more exhibit space in 2007; it includes the new Winter Garden, classrooms and café.
The Currier offers a beautiful collection of European and American furniture with paintings and sculpture. The collection has works by O’Keefe, Picasso, Matisse, Monet, Calder and Andrew Wyeth. There are lectures, special exhibits from the collection, and art classes for children and adults.
Critics consider it one of the finest small museums in the United States. Here’s a link to the Currier website- www.currier.org.
If you want to visit the Currier, the NHTI Library has two passes, that allow faculty, students and staff free admission on any day that the museum is open. A tour of the Zimmerman House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is an additional fee and must be scheduled in advance of your visit.
Walk over to the library and ask a staff member at the Circulation Desk for more information.
