$8 admit for seniors.
Museum was recently shored up to make it sound structurally, and a new, large, well lit exhibit space added. Today, saw vintage duck decoys and realistic painted bird sculpures in wood. Bird sculptures were remarkably real.
Quaint and interesting look into one of America's older artist couples. Their house is old and creaky... filled with great artwork that is really telling of its time. Takes about 1 hour. Admission is $10
Visited Cahoon museum of american art with painting and sculpture in Barnstable, cape cod. MA today, 9/27/17. About 1 hr.
Museum was great mix of 20th c. folk art, 20th c. impressionistic landscapes and seascapes as well as a few 21st cent works inspired by the 20th cent works on display.
If you like mermaids, this is the place 4 you! Most art was drawn, painted by the Cahoon family. As a guy, i felt underrepresented with a complete lack of mermen. Not one.
Interesting gallery and history. Variety of regional artists in addition to the Cahoons.
Excellent facilities for handicapped needs. Saw several folks in wheelchairs. Postcards and illustrated cards of the mermaid art is for sale.
I'd collect real scrimshaw, painted nautical pieces from whaling era if adding to the collection.... oh, why not, a period mermaid nose prow sculpture, or even a contemporary one.
Worth the time and friendly to those in wheelchairs. Grade: 4.5 of 5 stars
Great museum, pass it often, but first time I stopped in. Very fun.
And what about halloween? A little mermaid party 4 girls?
This museum cries out for a special exhibit of scrimshaw art in the new museum, or at least clear photos of period 17th-19th c. mermaid and sailing ship scrimshaw art throughout the old museum.
Gift shop had a really nice coffee table book on cape cod paintings, $35. No food on site.
The mid 1700s house-turned museum gave great atmosphere, but some rooms were overly dark with dark artworks, and i'd need a flashlight 2 see some paintings.
We were treated 2 the whimsical mermaid art of the museum donors, mostly. Felt a bit overexposed to 20th c. Cahoon family art at the expense of authentic, period mermaid/sailing images. Room 2 grow.
Small but very friendly place in a great old house
