A great little museum that you can get through in about 1.5 - 2 hours. Theres a litttle bit here for everyone. Whether its early European, American made furniture, modern contemporary or an extensive collection of glass paper weights, youre sure to see something that you like.

We toured this museum and met with Courtney, the venue coordinator, in March. We decided to book it for our wedding we originally planned to hold in June. When the COVID pandemic hit, we had to postpone. Courtney and the Currier staff were super helpful and patient during this unsettling time. Once things started opening back up, we moved forward with a new date in October, as we really wanted to have our wedding during a special exhibit. They were super flexible about our ever-changing event and working with us when our guest list shrunk almost by half. ALL of the staff during the event were amazing and super nice and helpful. Everyone worked with us to host a safe and socially distanced event. We had the best wedding and I am so happy we chose the Currier! Hopefully we can revisit each year to remember the experience. We cant recommend this venue enough!

Fine collection of european art and even finer collection of american mid century paintings. The modern art collection had some amazing pieces too.

I liked the wide array of displays this museum allowed you to experience. Paintings from several different times and different places all over the world. Very cool experience and well worth the price.

I was here for a wedding that was hosted at the museum. We had some time to look around and there are some beautiful works on display. Couldve easily spent a couple of hours. Some of the staff either hate interacting with people or are sick of dealing with trouble patrons, they can be unfriendly or cold. Maybe they dont like working late for a wedding, who knows.

Came here for a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Zimmerman house. Tour was great with helpful and informative guides. The museum has a nice collection and a moderately priced deli inside. Blue trees looked beautiful but a bit bare as its winter.

Want to say amazing but if amazing was 100 it would be a dull 70. That said its a nice way to spend a lazy afternoon.

Great experience, use to bring students here on the free Saturday mornings and they loved it. Connected to the community.

The museum and gift shop were excellent on my visit. The collection of art was varied and well done. I loved how the American Art was displayed and information on the placards was interesting and gave a vision into what was going on with the artists. I finally learned why Rouault outlines his figures in black. He studied stained glass!The cafe needs some spicing up in the food. I recommend eating before or after visiting. The gift shop professional was helpful with product information and general information.

For where this museum is and the paintings it contains, its fantastic. Now mind this can not compare with the Getty, Art Institue Chicago, etc. but it is a nice little museum. They do have a section of the museum set aside for visiting exhibits. They have a very nice selection of landscape paintings of New England.

Museum in the heart of Manchester. Free parking. Super friendly people. There is an onsite cafe making a bite to eat convenient with a good selection of items, reasonable prices, and a comfortable setting. The museum has a good mixture of exhibits. At this time they have a special exhibit of guitars.They continue your opportunity to explore to the outside. There is also as number of programs and community events offered. Much more than just a your traditional museum.

Great exhibits! Wonderful experience and sound protocols for viewing while respecting pandemic rules

I was here for the Shaker Furniture exhibition. The facility is very nice. The collection of works was excellent. I wish that more emphasis had been given to the craftsmanship of the pieces, instead of just their historical provenance. None of the cabinets had drawers pulled out to display their joinery, which was a disappointment. A better historical furniture exhibition can be found at the MFA in Boston.

Superb peopleGreat lunch place with unique offerings that are delightful

Surprised to see that Manchester has such a fine art museum !

If you have a local library card, get a museum pass from there before going here. Only paid $14 for 2 adults that allowed us to enter all the halls. Bought something small from the gift shop to support this local museum. Thrilled to see so many local New England artists being featured. Worth the visit.

This is a nice art museum. It’s fairly small, taking only a few hours to do thoroughly. But they have some impressive exhibits and a few standout works, including a Picasso and a Monet. The staff is very helpful. The gift shop was also nice.

Just the outside sculptures and feel of the Currier Museum is captavating. I stumbled upon it just exploring the awesome architecture around the area. I had a blast and cant wait to go back.

Amazing museum with plenty of nice glass art including some Paul Stankards. Also has a cool Picasso and interesting exhibits that change regularly. I would recommend getting a half off pass from a local library and if you have a BoA credit card stop by on the first weekend of any month for a free pass. Friendly staff and beautiful building.

A small but varied collection of art. The paperweight collection spanning over 200 years is incredible.The gift shop has unique items and art-related scarves and prints.

They have a great variety of art .

Loved my first visit! Cant wait to visit again. Nice range of art for any interest

The Currier is always creative and I enjoy it each time I go. Refreshing, thought-provoking, fascinating, joyful, diverse, friendly. I would use all these to describe my experiences there. Wonderful exhibits and activities. Community engagement. Family friendly. Plus the winter garden cafe, the gift shop, and the Frank Lloyd Wright house. Marvelous.

Remarkably good provincial art gallery. Nice cafe area. Knowledgeable docents. Decent shop. Great art programs for children and adults. Weve been supporters for years because of the leadership they show for local arts.

Lovely museum well worth a visit. Light and airy with a peaceful atmosphere. Fascinating historic furniture and art.

It’s funny I don’t think a lot of people in NH realize that we have our own Art Museum! The Currier is awesome though, they work hard at getting new featured exhibits and keeping their collection fresh! They also offer arts classes and have a bunch of events throughout the year!

Where else in NH can you see a Picasso up close? Amazing experience !!!

Fantastic local museum tickets were 15$ at entry. Personally I enjoyed the contemporary art section and found myself lost attempting to decipher the work of these great artists!

Not hate. I love this place. Next time I review, I will start with the stars on the right, not the left. This museum is everything I want in a local museum. The collections are good, the changing exhibits are varied and interesting.

This museum is a little smaller than Im used to. That doesnt change the fact that there are amazing works of art here. This is a gem in the city of Manchester and for people who enjoy art and museums, not one to be missed.The front of the building is a little boring in architecture, but then when you get to the main staumir case its eye catching. Of course the heart of the building where the café is, marble structure, is beautiful to sit in and relax.

An absolutely amazing place! Free to New Hampshire residents on the second Saturday of the month with a valid instate ID. I was lucky enough to view a Picasso and an exhibit on the Shakers. It was a wonderful experience and I will be returning soon!

Ive been here only once with my friend who loves art as much as I do and I have to tell you, this place is MAGNIFICENT! I love how everything was so different and beautiful. And I was definitely happy when I heard they had a cafeteria there. Most of the employees were very nice and helpful. I didnt really think I was going to enjoy it but I totally thought wrong! But you should try going there and see how it is. I hope you like it. Well if you love art youre gonna love this Museum.

This is an absolutely amazing place to come visit and check out some of the art they have here. Saw my first Picasso piece and it was breathtaking to see in person. Happy to share this experience with the world.

I really enjoyed my time in this museum. It is a small museum with decent European/American collection of old and modern art - paintings, sculptures, furniture, objects, temporary exhibits and Zimmerman house tour. Currier After Hours - first Thursday of each month. Second Saturday of each month 10 to noon is free for NH residents. Regurall admission fee Adults $15. Coffee and small shop.

Loved the paper weights.. really interesting collection full of tiny details and fun colors. Other exhibits were great as well. Went here for an event and their courtyard was comfortable with good food and a great atmosphere.

Not a big museum but beautiful place .My family and I went there and saw how beautiful this place was.My favorite was the crystal carved fish.

Look at all the paintings i stole and hung in my house

The Currier is a wonderful museum. I attended a private function there this evening. It is kept immaculate. There are many exhibits and displays to see. A must go to place!

Amazing selection of art!

I have enjoyed bringing the kids on the second Saturday, when NH residents get in free. Its large enough to have an amazing variety but small enough to where its very comfortable.

Loved this place since I was a kid.

Small but very good collection. Loved the crystal art the most. It was really beautiful.

Always a special time when going to Currier. The special guitar exhibit was fabulous. Leads you through the development and some of the extremes. Wonderful day. PS lunch at the cafe was terrific. Hot pastrami was delicious and tuna melt Devine. And very reasonable prices and very convenient.Cant wait for the next big thing.

Came here on a whim and because we had heard about the Block Party they were hosting, and we had just the best time. The museum had a lot of really interesting pieces and exhibits, and it was a beautiful building. The staff was all so lovely and helpful. I definitely recommend the Currier Museum, its a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Tickets are about what you pay at the ISGM in Boston. Parking is free and was very easy to access.The site is well kept and clean. I found the map to be slightly confusing though, so it was difficult to understand where we were. Aside from that, its a nice little gem in the city of Manchester.We enjoyed the special ex and I was delighted to see a JSS painting.

Yoga and meditation with Rosie is awesome!

Fascinating exhibit Deep Cuts: Contemporary Paper Cutting

If you like art, they have a lot of it. Im no expert, but there were artists I recognized. I enjoyed the experience. Its a fun, relatively inexpensive way to spend a few hours.

Loved the art and variety of sculptures. Was really impressed with how well maintained the museum looked, and how clean it was. The cafe was really nice and not too pricey. My big complaint is with the security watching over the guests. The lady walking around the place was watching everyone like hawks, really intrusive, and followed people around instead of allowing people to just look at the artwork in peace. Ive been to plenty of museums, and this was the first one where I truly felt followed, and it made for an uncomfortable experience.

Was very impressed with the art collection but very disappointed with the volunteer staff. An older volunteer continued to follow my guests, and my children around making sure they did not touch anything (they didnt, we visit museums around the world and make sure to have high levels of respect for the art pieces.) We felt singled out. Not sure what we did to cause her particular dislike of us....Having been to several museums, my guests and I were very eager to leave after such an unpleasant experience. I was quite excited to see the works they do have (OKeefe! Picassos! And more) but probably will not return again.

Nice displays and they change it up periodically. Some of the staff are a little miltant: while reading a painting description I had my hand on the display counter (not the painting, which would course would be wrong!) and was told not to touch the counter.

Some cool art. Some old art. The modern stuff was cool and the guitar exhibit was real unique. I especially loved the air guitar on display since Ive only seen one of those in pictures before.

A wonderful museum and awesome art lots of different activities throughout the year.

Great museum with lots of wonderful artwork, a large variety of artists and types of work. Loved the exhibition of bead work of the Ubehli women. Looking forward to the next exhibit. The Curriers cafe is great for lunch and a break in between viewing and enjoying. Well worth visiting several times a year.

Had a great day at the museum. The artwork is very diverse, and the descriptions and introductions to each section give you a good understanding of what the artists of that time and region were trying to do with their work.Very worth the trip. Especially if you have a library card. Many libraries offer free passes to various museums.

Art makes for a good conversation starter but the staff does not take care of the customer properly

Nice collection of art so close to home

Very clean and well maintained. Excellent selection of local art, with temporary world exhibits. Food court was cleaned, and sandwiches were good. Nicely stocked gift shop. Highly recommended if you like art.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Currier Museum of Art. Its a small museum, but I enjoy small museums because they are not overwhelming and you dont feel like you are missing something. The collection is mostly American and European and spans the ages through today. The contemporary gallery was my favorite.

Found this little jewel in the American collection. Light filled cafe and interesting gift shop.

Beautiful museum in Manchester. Frequent special exhibits. Delicious Cafe.

Great place but the staff does not take care of the customer properly.

Great place but the staff does not take care of customer properly.

Amazing collection, super event that was well attended. Great staff & easy location / parking.Cant wait to go back!

Son has a crutch he uses intermittently. Cousin carries it for him when not in use. No one was using crutch in careless manner. Room warden said he had to use crutch or it had to leave exhibit areas. He used it the rest of the time, which irritates his arm. Warden followed us like we were thieves. Not sure if he is biased against disabled or nonwhites... ruined our experience there.

Very good service

Very good service

Very cool museum! Nice selection and range of pieces, plus the food is good too!

Friendly staff and great collections. Balanced background and insights about the pieces make the visit even more enjoyable.

The family membership is a great deal! We can come when we want, for however long we feel like. Multiple special exhibits and events throughout the year and a nice permanent collection. An extensive art education program for all ages. A true gem!

Great little Museum. They have a really nice home collection, but the best thing is the monthly exhibitions. This month’s was The Guitar. They had them from the 15th century toModern times, very cool. Worth seeing.

Wonderful art museum. Such a wonderfully curated collection on display. Easily digestible without getting museum fatigue in 2-3 hours. Also loved the tour of the Zimmerman house (Frank Lloyd Wright). The docent was very knowledgeable about the house, and the architect.

Best place for first timers and kids to learn about art and the beauties. a lot of the art will be leaving soon so i would make a trip as soon as possible. there is bead art that takes the women months to create that are just stunning and they leave in june so get there fast its worth it. the textures the story they tell and there is much diversity in the art itself. Worth the trip!

I loved the time the staff takes to teach the kids a new craft in the classroom & its free on the second sat of the month!

Great place but the staff does not take care of the customer properly

Great gem in central Manchester. They have a wide collection of art as well as great informational staff. Definitely do not forget to tour the Zimmerman House!

World class, beautifully currated collections, and super accessible: the Currier, and the exhibits and performances it hosts, are a New Hampshire treasure.

Very calm peaceful and relaxing. Took our time looking at all of the beautiful art and learned so much also. Great environment. I will definitely be going back.

Very beautiful museum love the layout

Great local museum. We went to see the Art of the Guitar exhibit which will be there for a while longer. Check their website for times.

Excellent museum. And so glad they have a Frank Lloyd Wright House as part of the “collection.”

Enjoyed the visit... great collection of art.

Museum was awesome, super friendly people all over. The standout was the guy who runs the cafe. He went the extra mile for us whipping up some food for our baby. Such a great afternoon here.

Great art museum in NH. I mostly looked at the visiting exhibits, there was some amazing glasswork and an exhibit on the history of the guitar which was very interesting. Of particular note is the Zimmerman house, which you can tour through the museum (it does cost extra). The House is really an architectural marvel and was, for me, the highlight of the trip.

The museum has a nice collection and a moderately priced deli inside.

Fantastic museum. I was pleasantly surprised we found this gem in Manchester, NH. Book the Zimmerman House (Frank Lloyd Wright) tour in advance.

Currier is a wonderful museum. Until June 5, 2019 the Ubuhle Womens bead embroidery is on exhibit. Their work is stunning! Their story is amazing. There is a cost to visit the museum but the exhibit is free.

Worth going again and again:. Augustus Saint-Gaudens

For a small museum, it offered more than I expected, beautiful glass paperweight collection as well as period furniture, plenty of parking, cafe closes at 3

It was nice thats for sure, but its a one time thing

Sit back,soak it in. Great experience for adults and for young children

NH citizens free on 2nd Saturday of the month and can find discount coupons at library

Absolutely great exhibits in the museum, knowledgable staff.

Nice variety of art,

A really sweet place. I love the community work they do with local schools to get kids into the museum. They really are part of the community and care about giving back. They also have some great pieces by big names like Picasso and Monet. It was great to,see some of my favorite artists in the Currier. They also have a fun childrens section so this really is a place for all ages!

We completely ignore this surprising museum. Hopper, Picasso, Rembrandt...wow. Small but amazing! Go there!

Very nice collection, small but well worth the visit

Very nice regional museum with a broad collection.

What a wonderful show about Augustus Saint Gaudins.
