Very Nice free Art Museum. First time visiting the museum. Permanent collection of works are from famous Portsmouth born artist, Clarence Carter. Beautiful architecture. Building is a restored bank.

This is an amazing place nestled in to Downtown Portsmouth OH They hold multiple events and a great variety for all ages check out the most recent interview with Artistic Director Charlotte Gordon @ Sciotocountydailynews.com

My most favorite place in Portsmouth I spend countless hours here exploring and learning new things always a good time

Free entry.into museum. Building alone is worth a visit. Very friendly staff. Art by local artists. Gift store. Currently an art in fabric, by three Louisiana women.

Very nice place to check out the art Staff is so nice .

Beautiful place. It serves as a space for fine art but also has a welcoming atmosphere that invites the community in to share in its treasures.

Very nice and healpful Staff. Airey first floor giving up details in the art and exhibitions. Small gifts area with items very reasonably priced

Ive been to this museum several times over the course of my life, and every time I leave I think about how underappreciated our little museum is in the community and how many talented people we have that live locally.The first floor gallery seems to be a collection that changes over time showcasing various genres and artists. Upstairs is the Clarence Holbrook Carter collection and the Wertz: Art of the Ancients Collections. The Carter collection is astounding, the pieces themselves are enormous and and any visitor would feel as they are being drawn into these portraits. The Wertz collection is a voluminous collection of Native American artifacts. The placards briefly describe some of the artifacts but overall knowledge shared is shallow and does not do this immense collection justice.I would love to attend events such as the Museum: After Hours or similar events if they were hosted (and they may be) but this hidden gem isnt promoted as well as it should be. Given that there is no entrance fee and only a voluntary donation this place should be on any locals or visiting persons itinerary

I absolutely loved the Native American Artifact display! It is quite an extensive collection all found locally.

This is one of the great places to visit when in town. Beautiful art, very nice people.

Was a great place to visit..

Friendly staff, and beautiful art. Its great to see an art museum focus in local art. It can get a little small though nar the stairs and some of the walkways.

Wonderful place, wonderful events, incredible staff!

Worth a visit. Best artifact collection short of Columbus history museum
