Since Manchester, New Hampshire is such a small city, you might wonder what there is to do there during your visit. If you've been working for SEM Toronto, you might find the attractions in Manchester to be lacking, but where they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. If you're interested in the arts, while you're on vacation or in town for a business conference, check out the Currier Museum of Art. We can tell you all about what to expect there in this article.
The Currier Museum is an internationally renowned center for the arts which features work from all over North America and Europe. The items in their collection range from traditional paintings to modern sculptures made of industrial valves to photographs and architecture. Artists whose works are featured in the museum include Picasso, Monet, and renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The museum exists to promote an awareness of the culture from which Manchester has derived.
The Currier Museum contains nearly 13,000 works of art arranged into collections. These collections include Modern Art, Contemporary Art, Decorative Art, European Art, American Art, and New Hampshire Art. The actively managed ETFs of several charitable foundations funds acquisitions, and more pieces are arriving all the time. The museum also has one revolving exhibition space. Check with the museum to see what's currently in the space.
You can explore the connections yourself, or you can take a guided tour. Guided tours are free with admission and take about one hour, and focus tours that get more in depth on certain pieces are offered on weekends to give patrons a break from the brochure printing online jobs. If you wish to visit the Currier Museum with a group, there are five different types of interest-group tours you can book, including Women in Art, Impressionism, and New Hampshire Art. Contact the museum to make a booking.
In addition to being a museum, the Currier Museum is also an arts center that offers art education to the general public. Programs to learn about art and develop artistic skills are available for children as young as three years old, so you could bring the kids from your nursery supply company on an outing. There are also programs for teenagers and adults as well as art camps during school breaks for art loving children. To attend a class you must register. You can see the schedule of ever-changing programs at www.currier.org.
