This is small but wonderful museum. You are going to see splendid collection of ancient, medieval and american fine art. Visitors are allowed to take non commercial photos without flash light. It "must see" place during your visit to Princeton.

Beautiful! I came here because it was a class field trip. The experience was great! I absolutely loved the art that was shown to us by our tour guide. The art has amazing symbolism and the way our tour guide explained it was great. She was also very nice. I was never bored here either! I recommend coming here if you're into seeing great pieces of art!

Surprisingly nice for a small and free museum. A good collection of art and ancient artifacts. If you have younger children it probably won’t keep them occupied for more than an hour; adults can easily spent a couple hours or more, depending on your level of interest.

Great place to visit. Amazing exhibition which changes often. It takes around hour to see all halls. There are restrooms, wardrobe, locking boxes. And this place has no fee to enter, but you can always make a donation.
