On my way to dropping a quilt at a quilt show in NH, I detoured 30 minutes north to the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH. This was a really cute museum, and I appreciate the way they hung the artwork.
Sculpture by Mark Di Suvero.

Notice the hand written "Reminders" about making this series scattered across the canvas - 'mostly turp for 2nd grid medium' and 'always start alongside crumpled money bills and drawings by her child portray the interrelationship between Bartlett's art making and her everyday life." |

I love this room below. Love the way the pictures are hung. I love the blue. Oh my, wouldn't I die to have a room like this.
Things they were selling at the gift shop.
I drove two blocks around the museum, and found the neighborhood to be really charming. Old victorian houses, full of character.
If you get a chance, do stop by the museum, it is one nice museum that is not too overwhelming.
