Clark Art Institute

The Clark Art Institute, nestled in Williamstown, Massachusetts, offers a very serene experience for the cozy enjoyment of art. It opened in 1955 and has become renowned for its intimate galleries and stunning natural surroundings. I'm talking about 140 acres of expansive lawns, meadows, and woods that you can hike or snow shoe around, or just look at through the warmer galleries' many large windows. You'll find a diverse collection of European and American art – Renoir, Degas, and my favorite, Winslow Homer – and I overheard two ladies at Big Y recently who ironically couldn't stop talking about how the current show on modern French tapestry "will lave you speechless." The Clark is currently offering free admission through March 30. Comfy Key: Dining (Lunch) • Daytime Cozy • Third Space
