Currier Museum of Art - M.C. Escher Exhibit

We visited the Currier Museum of Art in Manchster, NH on Saturday December 13th, 2014 to see the M.C. Escher exhibit.

The Currier is a small museum with a decent art collection of over 13,000 pieces (only about 10% on view at any one time). They specalize in American and European art with a special emphasis on New England and New Hampshire. The collection is varied and wonderful with a number of famous pieces and artists.

Admission is free for NH residents on Saturdays from 10am-Noon, and free for BoA customers the first full weekend every month.
