This museum is a hidden gem in Andover! It is completely fee, to boot!It is small enough to digest in a couple of hours. The exhibits change regularly, so it never gets old.Artists include Pollock, Ansel Adams, Marie Cassatt, etc. There is a permanent exhibit of model ships.They have activity packs for small children. The workers are extremely kind and clearly love the museum.Parking is free and plentiful.

The Addison Gallery of American Art is located on the campus of Phillips Andover, admission is free and the public is invited, check the website for current info and parking directions. The wide ranging exhibits change on a staggered monthly cycle with many covering current topics, here a few photos of well-known items on display by Homer, Hopper, Moll -- (1715, rare North American Map), and Saint-Gaudens.Most of the items on display can be photographed, a rare opportunity when compared to several area museums, just ask the staff if there are any restrictions on display Items and remember no flash, (it can degrade many pigments).

Great place to visit. Enterence is free. Modern and classic psintings. Library with modern and ancient books. Models of ships. It has a nice park around.

Hidden gem in Andover. Beautifully curated exhibits ranging from classic to contemporary. Never disappoints

Small gallery with very interesting and well-curated exhibits. A quiet, beautiful place to visit and stretch your legs while around Andover.

Great service. Love the management and employees but very strict.

Had great exhibits on photography, sculpture, human body, and design.

The gallery and the exhibit were awesome. The experience of being there though was one of the most uncomfortable of my life and I will NEVER go back. I dont enjoy being followed by staff.Never. Again.

This is a wonderful hidden gem... We will definitely revisit this museum! They balance there exhibits between modern and 19th century American art. The curators have done an excellent job of putting together small gallery shows that contrast the various artworks in wonderful fashion - -terrific!

Eccellent exhibition. Grounds are nice. Staff is helpful.

Wonderful art for FREE! Plus a great museum shop!

Top quality gallery located on campus of Phillips Academy, Andover.

Another great photo exhibition- Gordon Parks

A small but well done museum. Very helpful staff.

A surprising gem hidden in the Phillips Academy campus.

Wonderful treasure of a museum hidden in Andover.

Awesome gallery with a fine selection of art pieces from different styles and periods, shown in an modern museographic concept. A pleausure to the senses.

Small gallery that displays American art - even by international artists working in America. Beautiful collection and their curatorial staff is on point with their tasks. Always amazed by the level of curatorial management that the gallery is responsible of.

Great little collection! Many gems. Fun things for little kids to take around the museum if they get bored. Nice staff. Free!

The space was so cool it was free open and staff was friendly and accommodating !!!

Wonderful permanent collection, FREE!

Hidden gem on a beautiful campus.

A hidden gem in Andover, absolutely wonderful place to visit.

Enjoyed the new Harlem Situ exhibit.

Small scale gallery with a pleasant collection of American art and new exhibits. Lovely spaces, located in a pleasant New Englandy town.

Beautifully organized museum, and it has at least one Albert bierstadt painting After the Storm on display.

Its a nice gallery I have been a couple times on field trips and in my spare time. The art pieces are always very interesting.

Beautiful gallery on the campus of Phillips Academy. A short walk from town and definitely worth a visit. Frank Stella exhibition is great but no photographs allowed.

Small and cozy museum

Amazing place. A real hidden gem. Great American art from a variety of artists. Winslow Homer to Lorna Simpson. Free to the public. You wont be disappointed

Great small gallery of American Art and photography. The staff puts alot of thought into the exhibits. Well worth a visit.

My daughter enjoying the kids book. Interesting exhibits.

I would say this is a nice place, but their security guys treated me so bad --just because I was the only young man around-- that I would never come back. That is one reason why young people never care about art in our towns. No one wants to go to a place where everyone sees you as a criminal. Also, be clear about your photography policy. On your website shows that people are allowed to take cellphone pictures while your security guys told me not to do it.

Splendid show of amazing Mark Toby paintings borrowed from major American and European museum collections. Quiet and shimmering paintings.

Perfect size to explore in a few hours and really appreciate all the wonderful art they have. The student exhibit just blew me away.

Great selection and variation of collections. The security staff was very nice and accommodating.

The permanent exhibits are excellent. The temporary shows range from meh to great. Its free.

An inspiring museum.

Wonderful, wonderful exhibits

Amazing place

Go. Get some culture. Then create your own art

Very soothing experience!!

Unassuming location (tucked away in Andover), but a really nice gallery with a solid regular collection and a much larger than expected exhibition collection. That its free helped--especially bringing young children for a few hours.

Host to a unique and very valuable collection of almost entirely-American art, as well as several world-class traveling exhibits, the Addison is top-of-the-line for a small art gallery. Its low traffic and open admission to the public make it an ideal stop for art enthusiasts who happen to be in the area.However, the staff at the Addison are well aware of the museums value and do not hesitate to show off how much better they are. Reading a pamphlet guide written by a curator on her collection, one can only help but laugh at her well-intended but incredibly overblown, pseudo-intellectual explanations which replace thought with empty statement.Amidst works of truly great artists like Georgia OKeefe and Jackson Pollock, as well as unknown but equally unique and beautiful art, are selections which can only be described as pretentious. Such is the world of great art, but the Addison tries in vain to rank itself with the likes of MoMA.The Addison strives to be a world-class museum, and it definitely has an extraordinary collection of intriguing and valuable art, but keep in mind that youre probably not going to want to spend all day there.

Wonderful collection of American art
