What a great museum! It's worth a trip to Fithchburg to see this gem.

Glenn Parker

A cultural gem that serves as a beacon for artists and craftsmen in a rather isolated part of Massachusetts.

Rusty R.

Nice museum with local charm! It was admittedly small, but the exhibits were tasteful and well organized. Two of the exhibits were more geared toward children than I was expecting, but there was plenty for adults to enjoy as well!

C. Smith

I would have given them a higher rating but the fact of feeling like i being followed had me a bit on edge. Museum was small but nice. We went during a time in which they were showing work from local artist in which i had the honor to meet one of them. Mr. Renfield was awesome.

Kathleen Lang

Enjoyed exploring and seeing all the exhibits

Neptune Platform

Great place

Richard Gates

A small museum with locally related exhibits and some items about ancient Egypt. Parking is free next to the building.

Sallly stone

A wonderful, magical place for children of all ages, adults, and seniors. This facility has handicapped parking directly in front of the museum, wheelchair/walker accessibility, and elevators to various exhibits. The experience includes interactive activities for children and parents to share in together. You will see a diversified collection of contemporary art, abstracts, photography, and onsite sculptures, to name a few. Visit the permanent Egyptian Exhibit and Moving Objects of Oceana Don't miss the exquisite Eleanor Norcross exhibit; museum founder, painter, philanthropist, and so much more. I highly recommend the Fitchburg Art Museum as one of the overall best places to go where the whole family can enjoy themselves.

What a gem in downtown Fitchburg! This small Museum will still take you a few hours to go through. Many activities for younger children. Would like to see more activities for older children. Wonderful selection of art with different media. Sometimes parking can be a challenge, but it does have free parking

A gem of a small-city museum notable for its legacy collection, art-education program, annual show of regional artists and excellent photography department.

Jeremy Young

Wonderful exhibits and presentations of quality art from past and present. Great job FAM!

Sam Squailia

Fitchburg Art Museum is an amazing cultural experience in the heart of Fitchburg Mass. Exhibits change frequently --- so it's never quite the same experience twice! Very unique and thought provoking art in varying medium. Always an event, opening, artist talk or Farmer's Market on Free First Thursdays to attend. Highly recommend. Kids welcome and many activities for them also--- mine loves the Egypt room!

Paula J Cronin

Something for everyone to see, there is just so much inspiring beautiful art work to see, a great way to spend time together with your family and friends.

Steiny Gomez

This museum is so cute and quaint, it is affordable I only paid $5 with a student discount. The exhibits are a mixture of local and world art, the staff is friendly and are knowledgeable on the art that is being displayed. It is child friendly, I noted dress up areas and a few games. I also give them a lot of credit for their bilingual approach by having the descriptions in both English and Spanish. Highly recommend!

Linda Herbison

The special exhibits were fun and worth seeing

Wayne Geiser

Many of the pieces on display were made by relatively local artists. Many of the subjects are of local interest (local buildings, etc) as well. Many art museums I've visited become exhausting after a few hours. Fitchburg Art Museum is nicely sized and kept my interest throughout. The docents with whom we interacted were both friendly and knowledgeable. Tucked back where it is, it can be easily overlooked.

K. Coy

Love this place

Robert Ziegenfus

Nice art. Not a very large museum though.

Debbie Shepherd

I wished it opened earlier, we could only spend 1.5hrs here. Saw most of the exhibits

Must see

Joan Sullivan

The current exhibit at the Fitchburg Museum of Art is over the top. Not he old FAM that I remember. More than one visit for me (89yrs old) to take it all in. The Art in Bloom show is the most exciting ever. Many thanks to all the hard work and talent bringing a lovely welcome to Spring.

Michael Currie

Wow, what a place! The market plan should be better becasue I never knew this existed and I have lived in the area since early 2000s. I went for an event, but was allowed to linger and wander. Very cool!

Beautiful historic building with a nice layout of exhibits

The Egyptian exhibit was fabulous for the kids. They could have spent an hour or more just in that section. I was impressed with the variety of exhibits for such a small museum. A surprisingly nice way to spend a few hours.

(Translated by Google) "Lee Young Jun PEN ART" Pen Art (General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism. Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit's depth. All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions. Therefore, art's depth also can be said to be unlimited. Is pen art's depth also infinite? In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification? In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply. Pen art begins from an essence of nature's fundamental values. From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature. As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light. That is why the soul is drawn to light. Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth. As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black. Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life. If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death. A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness. When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background. Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space. In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness. Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit. Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature's fundamental contrasts. The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one's breath away. But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred. The transfer of spirit occurs when one's life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness. That is the true 'pen art.' Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the "Lee Young Jun Pen Art" and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you. "Lee young jun PEN ART General Studies" (General Studies: 總論) PEN ART (Korea) ------------------------------------------- Infinite line of dots is the symbolism. That symbolism is the Warriors (變化 無雙) varies depending on the depth of the spirit. All the work is true. Because the Warriors lead to changes indescribable expression. Thus, the depth of art is infinite. Could the infinite depth of the pen when it art? Generally, coming out at the end of the pen point line Sure enough, a point that could you equip artistry. Need to think deeply about the benefits. Pen art begins with the fundamental nature of the natural color. In a blend of Black (黑), back (白) in the nature of color is essential (根本 的) in nature. Just as two trillion people in the dark with no visible color It is an essential function of the light that allows you to distinguish between colors. Since deulinda led the Spirit (靈) in the light that appears white. White or light is a consolidation (魂 的) the Spirit (靈) images. Natural color is black. As green is the essential color of plants Burned Charcoal is the essential color remains black. In absolute darkness, there can be no exercise of any life. Black has a heterogeneous (異質 的) and hostility (敵對 性) for life. If black is the essence (本質) of natural black is a spiritual picture (靈 的) death. The contrast (明暗) achieved when the black and white combined (結合). Here.We black on white display is 靈 is imported (移入) on a white screen. When you meet with the black line (線), black cotton (面), white is the resurrection (復活). It can express the spirit through the black. Young (靈) is the only will that can be imported into the black, the spirit and the soul color Black (黑), back (白) Combining (結合) has a mystery. And the essence of the fundamental color pen art of nature Starting with the ends in the nature of the underlying color. Fundamental nature is infinite (無限) and which is eternal, black, back harmony to the artistic (藝術 的) It can breathe enough to live. It is a land the finished trim throughout the time It can be achieved only after, and should be a perfect melody that holds the soul (魂) premises. Black, in a spirit of harmony bag until when imported spirit in the white screen archeology (孤高), vivid melodic world is created (創造). It is a true art pens.

"Lee young jun PEN ART 총론" (총론 :總論)PEN ART(Korea) ------------------------------------------- 선과 점의 무한함은 상징성이 있다. 그 상징성은 정신의 깊이에 따라 변화무쌍(變化無雙)하다. 모든 작품이 그러하다. 변화무쌍하기 때문에 형언할 수 없는 표현으로 이어진다. 그리하여 예술의 깊이는 무한한 것이다. 펜의 예술이라고 하면 깊이가 무한함이 있을까? 일반적으로 펜의 끝에서 흘러나오는 선과 점이 과연, 예술성을 갖출 수 있겠는가 라는 점이다. 이점에 대하여 깊이 생각할 필요가 있다. 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질에서부터 시작한다. 색채의 본질에서 보면 흑(黑), 백(白)의 조화는 자연의 근본적(根本的)이다. 조명이 없는 어두운 곳에서는 색을 볼 수 없듯이 색을 구분할 수 있게 해주는 것이 빛의 본질적인 작용이다. 때문에 흰색으로 나타나는 빛 속에서 영(靈)을 이끌어 들인다. 흰색 또는 빛은 영(靈)의 혼적(魂的)인 영상이다. 자연색은 검은 색이다. 녹색이 식물의 본질적인 색채인 것처럼 타버린 숯은 검은색으로 남는 본질적인 색상이다. 절대적인 어둠 속에서 어떤 생명의 운동도 있을 수 없다. 검은색은 생명에 대한 이질적(異質的)이고 적대성 (敵對性)이 있다. 검은색이 자연의 본질(本質)이라면, 검은색은 죽음의 영적(靈的)인 영상이다. 흰색이 검은색과 결합(結合)할 때 명암(明暗)이 이뤄진다. 흰 화면에 검은색을 칠하면 靈이 흰 화면에 이입(移入)된다. 검은 선(線), 검은 면(面)과 만날 때, 흰색은 부활(復活)한다. 검은 색을 통하여 영을 표현할 수 있다. 영(靈)이란 검은색 속에 이입될 수 있는 유일한 것이며, 영과 혼의 색채 흑(黑), 백(白)을 결합(結合)하면 신비함을 갖는다. 그리고 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질 에서부터 시작하여 근본적인 색채의 본질에서 끝을 맺는다. 근본적인 본질은 무한(無限)하고 영원함이 있으며, 흑, 백의 조화는 예술적(藝術的)으로 충분히 살아 숨쉴 수 있다. 그것은 오랜 시간을 통하여 다듬고 완성된 경지를 이룬 뒤에야 가능하고, 혼(魂)을 담는 완벽한 선율이 전제 되어야 한다. 흑, 백의 조화 속에 고고(孤高)하고 생생한 선율이 흰 화면에 영이 이입될 때 비로소 영의 세계는 창조(創造)된다. 그것이 진정한 펜의 예술이다. 이영준( 李 永 俊)
