The Addison is my backyard museum. It has a wonderful variety of my favorite American art. Its size it just right. You can spend 1-2 hours and come away feeling like you got to see the current selection.We are very fortunate to have this available to our local community.
The Addison Gallery is part of Phillips Andover Academy and a true treasure. They have American works only. A deep collection of Winslow Homer, paintings as well as drawings. The special shows are always excellent. Definately a worthwhile visit if in the Boston/Southern N.H. Area.
If you look in any book about American painters you will see the Addison Gallery mentioned. They aren't able to display as much of their collection at any time as, say, the Clark, but what they have is impressive. They are about five minutes south of I-495 and it is well worth taking the time to visit.
Really enjoyed the display of large ship models encased in glass. Schooners, clipper ships, Barqs and many others..

An extraordinary collection of American art - a world class permanent collection with great special exhibitions.
Great permanent collection and special exhibits. Terrific library, and don't forget to go into the library space to check out the view and the Chihuly's on the green roof.
An excellent museum with a beautiful collection. We love to go in the afternoon for an hour or two. The exhibits are well done and make you want to see everything. They have a wolf painting in their permanent collection by Remington that I love!
If you are in the Andover area it is a must followed by a meal at the historic Andover Inn across the street.
