3 reviews for Princeton University Art Museum
I agree with Beth, but am not so giving of the stars.
It has been about two days since I went here and I really can't tell you one piece that I liked, which is rare for me. There was one of Monet's "Water lily with Japanese Bridge" but I am guessing it was on loan from PMA. Lots of religious works spanning multiple genres and ages. 98% depicting the birth or crucifixion of Christ. None of which were particularly pleasing.
Two negatives about the museum: First, the temperature was appalling to the point that the question of humidity and it's danger to the "art works" came up several times. Second was that I didn't appreciate being rushed out prior to closing time so they could finish setting up for whatever private party they had.
One positive: It was free

Some of the worst paintings by some of the best artists in the world.
My tiny college (Williams) had a much better museum... on the other hand, the Eastern & Classical Western stuff is pretty strong. Definitely worth a visit - it just won't take very long.

Beautiful Museum, but small. Similar to other Ivy's. Not made of a shop. Still, a really nice 1-2 hours to browse. esp. on a rainy day.
