Centered right in the middle of downtown, guarded by two huge sculpted lions, this is a treasure of art. One of my favorite women Impressionists, Mary Cassatt, has a wall of her works on these walls. THE BATH, an oil of a mother bathing her daughter shows such maternal instinct, and from a women who never married or had children! Her mentor, Degas, also has works displayed here.
A room downstairs holds minitures of scenes from various periods of architecture in dollhouse settings. The attention to detail is incredible! You can look through the tiny windows & see pocket-sized gardens or views of terraces. Teeny books and spectacles lie on library tables. There is a fabulous gift shop, don't forget!
