Beautiful museum with lots of different artists and techniques from local to international and past to present.

Staff is friendly and focused in keeping the environment clean and safe for all guests.

Amazing school program as well!

Top class art museum! They have many inspirational and thought provoking works from across time (they have a great Hellenistic collection for such a small in university). There was a tasteful homage to native American artists. They even had a weiwei piece that I'm especially fond of. I didn't have enough time to see all of the work... And there was a whole wing closed down while a new collection was being installed!

I was not expecting to experience such a quality collection when I showed up on a friend's recommendation. I have to return because I could only scratch the surface in my 3 hour tour.

Very good collections for a small town. Nice and knowledgeable docents. On the beautiful Colby College campus in Waterville, Maine! Convenient parking, access for disabled is available.

Such a great place to check out whether your spending an hour or the day. It's so big lots to look at and it's free. The Colby campus is always changing, but the art museum is easy to find.

Fantastic collection of American painting. Never ceased to amaze me how much this small Maine museum had to offer. As a Skowhegan alumni I'm glad to have seen it.

Absolute gem! Free admission and fantastic collection. A must see if you find yourself in the Waterville area.

This museum is a treasure in our community, and it is surprising that more locals do not avail themselves of it. The museum is free, with a tasteful donation box at the front desk. Visitors can come in without needing to interact with staff unless they want to.

Facility is well equipped with maps and seating.
