See the Michener Art Museum Free on Sunday in Doylestown |
Free Second Sunday opens the doors to three exhibitions, from the American Revolution to Pennsylvania quarries |
Here's one of the best free things to do in town this month.
On Sunday, Nov. 8, the Michener Art Museum opens its doors at no charge from noon to 5 p.m. for Free Second Sunday.
The museum offers free admission on the second Sunday of every month, and this is a great month to take advantage of it.
Three exhibitions are on view right now.
The Crossing: Picturing the American Revolution looks at how artists have imagined the Revolution, including a toy-brick artwork by Ai Weiwei.
It runs through Jan. 10, so don't wait too long if it's still on your list.
Abstractions of Nature explores the quarries and industry that show up in Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings.
And Barbara Moon Boertzel: Listening to Time, which opened in late October, is the newest show in the building.
It's a lot of art for a free afternoon.
Free Second Sundays usually include family programming, too, though this month's family craft session is already full.
The museum is at 138 S. Pine St., in the stone walls of the old Bucks County jail.
Sunday looks sunny and crisp, so make a downtown afternoon of it with a walk and a coffee before or after. |

love this place so much, been going for years
free is great but parking can be a headache on sundays. Anyone know the easiest spot nearby?
the American Revolution show has been on my list since it opened. No more excuses now.
bummed the family craft session is already full. Would have been perfect for my niece.
my wife and i make a point to go every few months. Good excuse to walk around downtown after.
went to see the Pennsylvania Impressionists exhibit a few weeks ago and it was beautiful. Quarry scenes are surprisingly moving.
wish i had seen this earlier, would have planned my whole sunday around it.
the building itself is worth the visit. Being inside an old jail is such a cool vibe.
always forget this is free on the second sunday. Glad they keep doing it.
the Ai Weiwei piece made with toy bricks sounds wild. Need to see that in person.
free admission and three exhibitions? That is a solid sunday afternoon right there.
tom_bucksSeriously. Three shows plus it's supposed to be a nice day out. Grab a coffee on Main Street after and it's a pretty perfect afternoon.
took my kids here last second sunday and they loved it. Definitely going back this month.
