The Currier Museum of Art, 150 Ash St., is in a 1929 Beaux Arts building reminiscent of an Italian Renaissance palace, as well as in a complementary modern addition. The museum showcases an internationally respected collection of European and American paintings, sculpture and decorative arts from the 14th century to the present.
