New Exhibits
See the Battle of Bennington exhibit in its 2026 home, next to the Museum Store. This is a transitional year for this exhibit while we prepare its new permanent home on the second floor.
Visit the new Folk and Craft Gallery on the first floor (in the former home of the Battle of Bennington exhibit). This space will highlight extraordinary things made by ordinary people.
The annual Student Art Show (April 2 – May 17) includes work from local students in grades kindergarten through 12. Student Artists can pick up their certificates during the reopening celebration.
Art Through New Eyes
For the past two months, a group of your friends and neighbors has been discovering the fun of looking at art. Today we celebrate them and share their adventures with you.
Join them for a reception at 12:00 in the Paresky Court, where we’ll debut videos they’ve made describing their experiences learning to look at, enjoy, and talk about art.
Generous support for this project has been provided by Art Bridges.
Appraisal Fair
The annual Antiques Appraisal Fair takes place from 1:00 – 4:00 in the Paresky Education Center. Bring your prized family heirlooms and that quirky piece you found at a yard sale for evaluation by professional appraisers. Plus chat with conservation professionals about how to take care of it.
Plus enjoy hands-on activities throughout the Museum and live music from 10:00 – 12:00.
