Harrisburg Art Museum

Art museum

👍👍 The Google Maps has this place on the other side of the street, but this place is very easy to find due to the immense scale of the buildings. It says Houston Texas on one side.

😠 My family of 6 drove an hour on Sunday and arrived at 11am! Their website, answering service and the sign in the window said Open. If you call and a human doesn't pick up then they are closed. I hope they step on a Lego.
