Currier Museum of Art.

The Currier Museum of Art anchors the New Hampshire cultural scene with a surprisingly heavy-hitting permanent collection that spans from the European Renaissance to contemporary American studio furniture. While its galleries house essential works by Picasso, Matisse, and O’Keeffe, the museum distinguishes itself through a deep commitment to decorative arts, featuring world-class glass paperweights and 18th-century New England craftsmanship. Beyond the main building’s sleek galleries, the institution serves as the steward of two local Frank Lloyd Wright-designed residences—the Zimmerman and Kalil houses—offering a rare look at Usonian architecture in New England. It is a compact but meticulously curated space where high-caliber international modernism meets specialized regional history, making it as much a destination for architecture buffs as for traditional art lovers.
