Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Founded in 1912, it’s one of the oldest continuously operating art museums in the country. Housed in several buildings across a lush, three-acre campus, it offers a collection of unique spaces, each set against a backdrop of inspiring art.
- The spectacular 1864 Griswold House at the heart of the property presents stunning scenes for photos, with an interior boasting historic original details like ornate millwork, leaded glass windows, and intricate inlayed wood flooring. Its sprawling grounds and porch may be used for al fresco events (tenting is welcome.)
- Modern and open, the Ilgenfritz Gallery hosts grand affairs surrounded by contemporary art installations, while more intimate spots like the Drury Gallery and Library are available for smaller gatherings. Packages can include your ceremony or reception only, or you may opt to hold the entire celebration at the Museum.
