What visitors say
On Dickinson University's campus, this free art gallery displays the work of its art students and faculty. It's two levels and takes about 30 minutes to enjoy everything. Admission is free. If you love emerging art, go. I enjoyed seeing…
They have a lot of art programs. We took some of our scouts there to learn about art and they got to make their own sun catchers!
Went on an elementary school field trip. Nice mix of educational and Hands-on activities. Tour guide was great with the kids. Totally impressed with the British Watercolor exhibit.
