    Excellent reuse of a sturdy old structure that helps the museum fit nicely into the community's fabric, as well as its location along the river. Both indoor and outdoor artwork is displayed in various media. I like that the museum is comfortable using the building's exterior largely as-is, without the need to make a bold statement that would be out of context for the setting.

    Hunterdon Art Museum is part of Bank of America's Museum On Us program. It's a perfect stop for us on our way back to PA after a weekend in NYC. It's right off I78, less than a mile from the Clinton exit. As soon as we drove across the single lane historical bridge, we were already engrossed by the picturesque view of the red mill, the dam, and the stone museum building all within one view on the left. The main street at the other end of the bridge has the typical small town feel, lined with many charming boutiques and shops. Street parking were all taken and we had to resort to the second municipal parking lot on the other side of the river, but still it was a manageable 1/4 mile walk to the museum. The museum itself is quite small, especially the ground floor where the lobby and the children's craft room take up most of the space. Cristina de Gennaro's drawings about sage roots occupied the only gallery on the ground floor. The second floor was a special exhibit from Tricia Zimic with her porcelain sculptures using monkeys to depict themes of sins and virtues. The third floor housed some of the art works by students and faculties. The sweet short tour in the museum, coupled with the scenic surroundings and the quaint town make this stop well worth our time.

    Scenic spot with best views of the art museum building coming from the red mill parking lot. Museum was closed when I visited but loved the building.

    I enjoyed the museum. All of the exhibits were interesting. I especially liked the "Art in the Expanded Field" art / studio glass exhibit.

    Beautiful museum and wonderfully curated exhibitions bringing together amazing talents. I was blown away by the glass exhibition arranged by Caitlin Vitalo. The depth of glasswork was astounding. Great to see the breadth of creativity that stems from a single medium.

    $5 Seniors...a lovely old barn with local artists works on display. Stunning craft works combined with paintings in an historic setting.

    I was in the area and saw a lot of people going inside for some art exhibition and figured I would go and see what it was all about. There was photography and amazing knitted art work that completely surprised me. I thought everything was worth going for and the museum itself was really interesting.

    Beautiful museum! I always have such a lovely time here. The town around it is super charming. There is a bridge that has a pedestrian walkway that leads to the Red Mill Museum Village. There you will find a few benches that are shaded and others that are not. It’s a beautiful place to sit and relax before or after the museum and you can see the Hunterdon Art Museum while you are seated there. Directly outside of the Hunterdon Art Museum you will find a few art installations, including works by Toshiko Takaezu and Tom Otterness. You will also find a few steps down to the water. The museum itself is a charming old building and there are stairs and/or an elevator to help you navigate the three floors. You can see the beautiful landscape surrounding the Museum through many of the windows while you explore the exhibitions. The exhibitions are temporary and the rotate every few months. The receptionist that was there when I visited was extremely friendly and helpful. There was a coat rack near two gender neutral bathrooms on the first floor of the museum where you could leave your jacket or hang a bag. There is also a small gift shop at the entrance of the museum that had some handmade jewelry and ceramic wares.

    Won’t be registering for any Children’s classes as they require vaccines! Very unprofessional to demand children ages 12 or under to receive the Covid vaccine. Europe is not even recommending children 12 and under get it yet so when US Businesses including this one do it baffles me and leaves me uninterested in supporting them.

    Exhibitions are out of touch with current art dialogue. Staff is underpaid, poorly treated. Programs are rote, not exciting. No parking.
