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

It is half museum / half walking. You can meander through the expansive gardens at your own pace. From Villa Mojo, the drive is about 50 minutes, but it’s a pretty drive and who knows else you may find along the way! http://www.mainegardens.org/
