An hour and a half is probably enough to see it all. But their exhibits are nice and interesting. Currently they have some very interesting sculptures by Steve Tobin including a short film on his work. I would recommend a special trip to this museum

Nice gift shop, nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, scavenger hunt/workbook for kids (ask at the front desk), the sculpture garden (with fountains!) is good for kids to run around. Nice museum, room dedicated to James Michener, various temporary exhibits. Walkable to the center of Doylestown. Right next to the public library.

Very nice small museum with frequently changing exhibits. Small enough so you don't get overwhelmed. Good place to hold a function

I am an art student, watercolor. This museum impressed me with its displays of artists that are famous in the Bucks County traditions. They paint the most beautiful landscapes of local scenes that the visitor rarely sees and they are authentic. Unusual palette. These artists for sale in the fancy galleries of New Hope. Don't miss the sculpture outdoors. Better use than the prison it was.

Just across from the Mercer Museum is this great regional art museum, named after local son, famous James A. Michener.It IS an old stone prison-turned art museum.

Creatively uses an old stone prison, renovated into a contemporary art museum to feature a collection early 20th century impressionists paintings from artists of the “New Hope School,” a Bucks County movement. The museum has a collection of contemporary art and photography, and exhibits change throughout the year. The museum also hosts traveling exhibits from other institutions.It’s located just across the street from the Mercer Museum and is a short walk from the train station and the center of Doylestown, where there a numerous dining options.

I loved everything about this museum. i can spend days there and never get bored and i am not into Art and used to find Art Museum's boring. The realism, beautiful nature themes, lighting, colors make this art come alive and fill you with excitement and contentment. i just love it.

Ok…so as kids, we'd race to the top of the Mercer Museum and stretch our necks at all angles at the windows in hope of peering over the tall stone wall and spotting "bad guy prisoners" exercising in the prison yard. Now it's a stunning art museum and tribute to many fine Bucks County artists and traveling exhibits. Don't miss it!

The old county prison was transformed, inside and out, into a showcase for art and sculpture. New exhibits all the time. A permanent section is dedicated to American Impressionists, several of the most famous being Doylestown and Bucks County natives. Lovely museum shop and cafe.

Well worth the trip. Two new exhibits of contemporary sculpture and photographs were going on as well a room full of wonderful paintings by artists who had lived locally in Bucks county and painted in the impressionist style of the time. There is a selection of modern crafts from the permanent collection, a cafe and a lovely outdoor sculpture garden.
