The museum’s permanent exhibit has a diverse range of objects, quilts, hunting decoys, portraits, decorative pottery and boxes, weathervanes and religious objects, paintings and crucifixes; basically, artwork that you most likely won’t find in other museums of American art. There’s a lot of information explaining the history and importance of the work, but even if you stop to read everything, you won’t end up spending more than two hours here. The staff of the museum is friendlier than those of a lot of other museums, making it a pleasure to visit.
