(Translated by Google) Surprisingly great! We loved it!! From the first moment we entered and the women who sell you the entrance, they were most kind. It's amazing the houses, the paintings, the sculptures, everything, and how much we learned from the Wyeth family. It is also amazing the elevator of the old church, you have to see it if or if! And another thing that moved me, apart from the gardens, was the library with a beautiful piano that they let you play. Also the amount of interesting books that there were. The only thing I missed was in the store more things in the museum. (Original) Sorprendentemente genial! Nos encanto!! Desde el primer momento que entramos y las mujeres que te venden la entrada, fueron de lo más amable. Es increíble las casas, los cuadros, las esculturas, todo, y lo mucho que aprendimos de la familia Wyeth. También es increíble el ascensor de la antigua iglesia, hay que verlo si o si! Y otra cosa que me emociono, a parte de los jardines, fue la biblioteca con un piano precioso que te dejan tocar. También la cantidad de libros interesantes que había. Lo único que eche en falta fue en la tienda más cosas del museo.

I worked here ten years ago as a gallery guard. Very professional and beautiful place of various arts. Staff are friendly, but very strict. Who would of thought art could be such a cash crop.

Always fabulous

We visited as we were in the area for a family event and had free entry due to a reciprocal art membership, other wise this place might be a little expensive for what it is. That said, it did have a decent and varied collection of art, with a focus on Maine and there is a lovely garden with a small sculpture park and a further gallery across the street out the back in a old church. Enough to entertain younger kids, but realise it isn't geared towards little children too. The museum store is also very good. Plenty of on street parking around the place as well.

Plenty of Wyeth art to gaze at. They have occasional free entry. We happened to be there for an October pumpkin festival that included free entry. The museum is worth a look.

A very nice collection. It is not large, but we'll worth the time. Took us about an hour to cover all three floors.

The farnsworth is a great museum with good exhibit rotation. The museum often gets great traveling exhibits too. It is definitely worth going to, thank you for supporting it. The museum is pricey, though, for what it is so it's great that the museum is free to Rockland residents. Why 3 star? The security. Front desk staff have always been nice to me. But I and people I know have had many experiences with the security staff being rude. I especially do not recommend bringing small children to the main exhibit hall (under ten). If you are an adult, you will enjoy their fine collection. But probably leave your kids at home. That won't save you from rude security, but give you a fighting chance.

Whenever I come here I am always delighted in the variety of exhibits and the range of talent. Hours fly by here if you want to appreciate art.

Zack Cruise

Good museum, very Maine-centric. Lots of works by Andrew Wyeth of course, but many interesting exhibitions on the calendar... Definitely worth going to if you’re in town and interested in art. It’s in an older building so the layout can be less than straightforward, make sure you get a map and use it so you don’t miss anything! The gift shop is nice and accessible from the street without having to pay the museum admission.

Clarke Thomas

A mix mash of local known artists & invited exhibitions. An amazing collection from those presented.

Full of strange but beautiful pieces of art! Really enjoyed the tour! A definent 5 star!

Nathan Gross

Although it may be well known that the Farnsworth is the premier destination for lovers of the Wyeth family's artistic legacy, the museum has a wide range of artists, styles, and influences in its collection. The Farnsworth also hosts great exhibits and art events, some of which are available for free to the community.

This museum is highly recommended to be visited. There is a great selection of the artworks dedicated to Maine. The stuff is very friendly and helpful.

Matthew Payne

This art gallery with a focus on the area, the Wyeths, and regional art is the place for Olsen House tickets which was our initial intent. The gallery is kid friendly and filled with great art. The village of Rockland is a great place to stay.

Mike McKernan

As a fan of the Wyeth's, the Farnsworth is a favorite. Seeing Christina's World at the Farnsworth (several years ago when it was there on special arrangement with MoMA) was a singular experience.

I’ve never been there it’s stephen nason

It is spread out to two buildings plus the homestead. So much to see. Loved seeing the sketches in one building and then finished watercolors in the next. It's affordable and worth the visit.

Tom Arenberg

A fantastic collection of Wyeth work.

kristen holloway

really fun art museum, my fiancé and I came up from Portland, ME to spend an afternoon here. thank you for having a free ticket for active duty service members, would love to see a discount for veterans if possible!

jonathan panitz

What a wonderful and marvelous museum! When I vacation next summer in Northfield I will be sure to visit again. Also found out that Billings Farm Museum has reciprocity and so will take advantage of this. Everyone who goes to Maine needs to visit this captivating place Rabbi Panitz

Adam Cox

A must see. You can easily spend all day in here

Ran Ranalli

Enjoyed getting up close and personal with Wyeth.

Susan Santa

Small museum with many works from and about Maine. Came for the Wyeth collection but left disappointed. Most of his work was unavailable and the gallery where it should have been housed was closed. Until they are back on exhibit my suggestion is to visit his works elsewhere.

Free Wednesday evening. Very informative highlighting American Artists. Spent 1.5 hours.

If you came to the Maine coast because of the Wyeths you must go here. If you are in Rockland you must go here. Great exhibits, Ai Wei Wei for much of 2018. Neil Welliver and more.

Deanna B

Though some of the exhibits were not yet opened during my visit, I enjoyed walking through to see the rest of the collection of artwork. The staff at the front desk and gift shop were very friendly and the shop had a nice collection of gifts and souvenirs. Two of the people for security seemed a little rude, choosing to walk through in front rather than behind some visitors who were looking at some works on the wall without saying a word of pardon and when we said good morning to another, they looked at us and then walked to another section of the museum where they continued to look at us from a distance. Other than that, I enjoyed the rest of the visit.

Timothy Ford Malone

Dedicated to Andrew Wyeth but other Maine artists are also represented. The building also represents mid-1800's architecture.

Andrew Bartley

Great museum, but if you’re in the off-season be sure to check how much of it is open; get your discount if half of it is under renovations. The exhibits are all interesting, and the Weiwei installation is here most of 2018 - a must see. The Maine art is well represented. There are exhibits showing Wyeth’s studies and the finished product, letting you see him work through the creative process and see all of the detail he planned.

Carl L.

Great museum, love the buildings and the way they use the place, especially the church. Lot of art from the Wyeth family, small permanent collection of other artists and nice exhibitions with lot of artwork by Roy Lichtenstein among other.

joanne madorno

fantastic museum...great exhibits

Phyllis A Sears

One of the small treasures of the art museums of Maine. And a delightful little town to set it in. Worth a stop.
