    GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES Fabulous small art gallery/museum. The layout has been beautifully designed and curated by Peter Lane, the paintings shine from the walls and I enjoyed my walk through. Worth a good hour of your time to stop and appreciate the fine artists on display. Lovely things for sale in gift shop.

    I love this little museum. Even though I don't live on SJI, I have been a member since it opened, as I love their displays and the artists they feature. The three rooms of art are the "perfect bite." It is a lovely walk from the ferry and well worth it every time.

    I really enjoyed how this museum narrows its focus for more impact. Currently, there are only three artists, and all are ceramicists, but all very different. My favorite is George Rodriguez' series on the Chinese zodiac, done with a Mexican twist with a series of collaborators. Patty Warashina's series she completed during the early years of covid displays how we all felt with humor and sympathy. And while Geoffrey Pagen's abstract tiles aren't my favorite, they are fascinating to look at. In all, worth seeking out whatever they have going on and well worth the walk up the hill from the ferry. There is a small parking lot if you're driving.

    Looks great but it was closed on a Friday. It said it was supposed to be open. Rather annoyed since we walked up from the ferry terminal specifically to go there.

    Small museum. There was an excellent exhibition when we visited: 'African Twighlight'. Highly recommendable.

    Quaint, interesting, well worth the visit. Not big at all, but well distributed and with thought provoking exhibits

    Small museum, essentially just 2 rooms and a glassed-in exhibit area. The collection on display was good, but small, so I felt that the museum was overpriced for what it offered. Still, it was nice to spend half an hour here instead of going to yet another gift shop.

    Very small museum. There is bunch of information in there that you could read on Wikipedia. There were bones belonging to some whales and other sea animals, this was good. The ticket was definitely overpriced. I would have happily considered it a donation to the museum if they had put in decent effort in to showing what kind of research they do but they didn't.

    I really enjoyed the exhibit by the local artists. It's nice to live in a community with such talent.
