Good array of collections. Recommend for a day activity as its not an overwhelmingly large space but special/interesting pieces that youll probably take time to read about and take in all there is to see. Front desk manager was kind and personable.

We came here to see the collection of Grandma Moses paintings. I enjoyed seeing her paintings and learning more about the artist. One of my favorite items was any ad from Gimbels department store... trust me... its hilarious.I enjoyed all of the museum. It was an eclectic mix. Very worth a day trip out.

Some really neat paintings, exhibits, and other unique artwork like paintings on fungus. Very specific to the town of Bennington. It was neat! I would probably check out the upstairs by myself first before bringing children.

The exterior as well as the interior matched the vibes of a museum. The exhibitions were remarkable. Statues on the outside gave the place a historic yet hip feel.

It was great to get back to.my first visit was when I was little. It has a variety of things to see. Battle stuff,art , pottery

Nice little place. Very doable, especially on a rainy day.

My boyfriend and I stayed in Brattleboro for the weekend and stopped in Bennington on the way home. It was a pleasant surprise visiting the museum and getting to see all the beautiful art and historical items.

Beautiful museum housing art and artifacts of the area. Enough variety to appeal to all interests.

Great Museum but the gardens beckon a walk through......dont leave without a stroll!

Interesting and varied collection. Well worth an afternoon.

Very well done for a small museum.Great exhibit of Grandma Moses artwork.Photos of her work are prohibited, but all else is fair game.

What a wonderful museum to spend the day walking through all the fantastic historical items, including Grandma Moses art gallery! So much to take in, it is truly worth the visit. The museum deserves recognition for amassing such a valuable trove of local artifacts.

The museum has a wonderful art collection, a good shop, a special Grandma Moses exhibit with a place for children to experience Moses milieu, ample parking, a picnic shelter, and a lovely short trail through the woods out back.

We very much enjoyed our visit there. The community is to be congratulated for preserving local history and art. It was enlightening to see so many of Grandma Moses works and learn more about her life in the area in which she lived.

Balls to the walls excitement! Its got more twist and turns the a rollercoaster.

Very nice museum emphasizing the art and history of the region. A very short distance from the Bennington Monument. Reduced cost to visit one after seeing the other. Wonderful time! Nice Grandma Moses painting exhibit.

Loved this quaint museum and especially the Grandma Moses collection! Lovely drive, beautiful town!

Loved Grandma Moses ️ and WASP auto

I visited in August and was so impressed by this small museum. Of course the Grandma Moses exhibit was delightful, but equally enjoyable were the historical artifacts and the Vermont history galleries. Well worth the 90 minutes spent there.

Cute small museum with an interesting artifact from the early 1900s. I wont spoil it ok here because it surprised me and made the whole trip worth it. Also seems to be kid friendly and the place is definitely reasonably priced.

Interesting and fiercely independent museum

Interesting museum with a variety of exhibits covering art, history, and even an exhibit designed for kids. Friendly staff who were very knowledgeable on their history

Grandma Moses exhibit! And much much more!

Nice artworksculptures, and grounds,

Every local Historic Museum should follow this as the BEST example of how to show off your collections. Perfectly set up! Grandma Moses exhibit is the best, so is the Revolutionary War History exhibit. GO!!!

Great way to spend a day. Not overwhelming. After the monument I recommend a walk to the local museum to see Grandma Moses paintings.

What a comprehensive delight. Wonderful history inside and out. Delightful special showings and lectures. Involvements for local folks and schools. Great old, and many local collections. And, a small shop that I go to look for special gifts. A hidden wonder worthy of keeping on your check whats up treat.

Nice little museum

Hiking trail in the back is so cool

Its a historic part of the Bennington community-whether it be a guided tour or chaperoning ur kids class -it wont be a disappointing trip..

Besides beautiful green hills and many other things, the town of Bennington, Vermont, is famous for the battle of 1777, stoneware pottery, and Granma Moses. The Museum gives you cultural information about these and several other related topics for you to walk out almost an expert. So a visit to this historic temple is recommended in your itinerary of this rural tristate shire of New England.

This is a really nice museum. It has outside walking paths. The exhibits were well set up. Some high lights were Grandma Moses school house and artwork, a gorgeous car made in Vermont, and Vermont pottery. We got there later in the day and had to rush the end. It would probably take 2-3 hours to enjoy it all at a leisurely pace.

Wow. This is a great stop for people that like art, sculptures, and history. Low entrance fee - only $10 when i went.

Great small museum, enjoyed the variety of local history presented! Loved the early school house.

A very nice museum and a friendly staff. The only disturbing thing was the display by the front entrance. The artist combined three of his works into one display. While I understand his intention, its disturbing none-the-less. You can Google Lincoln Statue Bennington Museum for more detail.

Beautiful little museum. The staff was helpful a lot of local history. Big grandma Moses collection.

Great amount of history to be seen here

Id return but theyve removed alot they used to display. Sad

Historically relevant, solid collection, the library is the true hidden gem of this local museum.

First visit. Very few other patrons. I enjoyed the visit. Thete was a nice piano performance going on. I particularly liked the exhibits on the Bennington Battle and Grandma Moses. Early typewriters were also quite interesting as was medical and coming instruments. A typical gift shop was open. Parking was easy and near. It was a pleasant comfortable atmosphere.

Great spot for my husband who suffers from PTSD and my daughter who has noise sensitivity.

Enjoyed this museum, especially the section on Grandma Moses.

Very interesting museum. Wonderful collection of Grandma Moses art, but I really love her great grandsons art. His name is Will Moses. They also have an interesting collection of housewares, weapons, etc. from what I believe is the Civil War era.

Charming local museum with eclectic exhibits. Worth a visit, just make sure you give yourself enough time to explore it all!

Grandma Moses collection as well as galleries with furniture, pottery, and Rockwell Kent paintings. Easy walk from downtown Bennington.

Wonderful exhibit on Grandma Moses.

Nice little museum!! Warm and friendly docent

Worth the visit. Admission is cheap. The Grandma Moses exhibit is AMAZING. Their other exhibits are fascinating as well. Not overwhelmingly large; budget 2 hours.

One of the best museums. It offers a great exhibit of revolutionary war guns and extensive collection of Grandma Moses paintings as well as other art. The childrens museum gives children a chance to play with antique toys, sit at a table with wooden plates, and run a child sized general store.

The museum is quite nice. I loved the pictures of grandma Moses, her style is absolutely lovely. Some other pictures and stuff were funny, because they are weird. I like the museum, but I think its expensive for the amount of art. But I guess its necessary.

So much beautiful art ️

It was amazing! It was raining but it didnt matter. The people working there were so nice and helpful. I want to go back when I have more time. Its a beautiful building with excellent exhibits. Youll have to go to find out for yourself what they have.

Love the art and new exhibits. Great place to visit.

Eclectic collection of local and national historic and modern interest. Save a good hour or two. Store has mementos as well as some original craft art works. Nice view from front entrance.

If youre into landscape paintings by grandma Moses youll love it. Some parts of the museum were dull and dry but others make this a definitely worthwhile and varied museum.

Museum staff was helpful and friendly. The Grandma Moses exhibit was fun, light-hearted and the kids loved that the school house was interactive. It was so thoughtful for the museum to have an exhibit were kids are able to touch and play similar to the children in Mosess era. We also enjoyed the pavilion for an outdoor picnic and explored the wildflower walk. A very enjoyable visit! Thank you

Plan to spend at least 2 hours. Wonderful insight into the works of both Grandma Moses and a host of Vermont artists. Impecably run by a great team of knowledgeable staff.

Great place to see American history. Great place for a picnic.

It had a childrens play room with things that kids could touch and play with. This was great so we could take turns exploring the museum.

If you like mother Jones, its your kind of spot. Worth a trip for me from Albany NY

Grandma Moses exhibit is good

Very interesting displays and art work. Gramma Moses art was beautiful. Staff was very nice and helpful. They gave us directions to a great restaurant.

Perfect size museum, good variety. Some local, New England history and a wonderful display of Grandma Moses paintings. Very worthwhile. Easy access.

Kid accessible, great grandma Moses collection, terrific revolutionary war memorabilia-battle of Bennington

Nice museum and lots of Grandma Mosses art. Nothing out of the ordinary. 2nd floor is lots of old stuff and paintings.

Neat little museum. Well worth the trip

This is a great place to go so very nice for all to see

Odd collection of interesting things

Grandma Moses collection was great to see!

Nice big easy to to use parking lot. This is a thing of beauty, and almost non existent in the east. Good job Bennington Museum!

Small museum but a very nice collection. The Grandma Moses gallery is the highlight. Check out the hiking trails behind the museum if the weather is good.

A must see if you are touring Vermont. One of the largest collections of Grand Ma Moses paintings anywhere.

Spectacular local museum.

Wow, wow, wow. What a great museum. The coverage of first Americans is second to only the Indian museum in Washington DC. And that is saying something.Grandma Moses, local history and folksrt. This place has it all. Should be in everyones list for super local museums.

Great place to visit for history.

Great local museum. Exhibits are changed frequently keeping it fresh.

Lots of good information. Good for kids too.

Small pool of content that is mostly boring, much like Bennington itself. Areas of interest include: creepy Abe statue out front, antique vehicle inside, local art in the temp rooms, aristocratic portraits upstairs.

Very well laid out items of local history & art. Clean. Staff extremely helpful & educational.

The Bennington Museum is an amazing little gem in southern Vermont, specializing in art & artifacts of the state. Our first encounter was in 2016 when the museum mounted an exhibit of Milton Averys early paintings of Vermont landscapes produced from his experiences there from 1935-43. Avery had an uncanny ability to deconstruct images to a bare minimum of information necessary to perceive the subject. While predating his Color Field years, the paintings still employed a fascinating range of colors, quite provocative (the catalog is still available). The museums presentation was superb. This year we were treated to a tour of paintings by Anna Mary Robertson Grandma Moses. Curator Jamie Franklin is incredibly insightful in his ability to convey the immense talent of this remarkable American artist (catalog also available). All art lovers need to put this place on their list!

Wonderful museum to learn about Bennington history, and Grandma Moses.

Small but extremely well curated museum - great for the Grandma Moses buffs, local historical artifacts, and even modern art. Perfect size - you wont be exhausted when you leave.

Great Grammar Moses collection no pictures allowed

Charming local art museum. Grandma Mosess paintings and historical material put it on the map. Other parts of the collection have a somewhat funky local character. Worth an hour or so if you are in the area to visit Mass MOCA, the Clark, or other nearby highlights.

Some fun exhibits.

Definitely worth a stop if youre driving by.

As a small museum, this one stands out. The innovative artistry that is a part of this area was very present in this space.

Great display of Grandma Moses paintings. Also includes revolutionary way relics and history. Reasonably priced.

Interesting view of Vermont from artistic perspective.

Nice interactive things for kids to do.

Delightful small museum. We saw an excellent retrospective of Grandma Moses paintings in this town which is the home of Bennington College.

Not really much to see. Nice view from the top of the tower, but thats about it.

Came to shop for 1776 flags, bought one for myself and one for a gift, super staff!!!

Its the real vermont

Excellent new exhibits; enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour.

Local museum. does not have bright shiny artworks.It has interesting room with various machines.

Very interesting and well worth it.

Very nice museum. Has an elevator. Friendly staff.

Fun place for kids. Especially fun during the Grandma Moses exhibit in the winter.

Staff was wonderful. plenty to see in a relaxed atmosphere
