The Farnsworth is our pride and joy as far as art. It has a beautiful and comprehensive collection of the Wyeth family art, as well as works by Robert Indiana (during the summer, his “EAT” work is mounted to the corner of the roof of the museum!). The Farnsworth rotates some very interesting exhibits too. For current exhibits, go to: http://farnsworthmuseum.org/current-exhibitions
