Currier Museum of Art

150 Ash St, Manchester

Almost celebrating one hundred years of enriching the community with art, the Currier packs quite a punch for a small museum.  Carefully designed building highlighting European and American art from the 1500s forward.  From Picasso to O'Keeffe to Matisse, the collection has a little of everything. The fact that it is the only museum in the world to own 2 Frank Lloyd Wright houses is icing on the cake.  Both its Sunday brunch series and Thursday's Art After Work feature live music, food and cocktails, and of course, great art.
