Princeton University Museum of Art: Great Stop

The Princeton University Museum of Art is a great stop for a day trip during the weekend. Especially for Sunday visits, it can't be beat. The Sunday hours are between 1-5 p.m. Photography inside the gallery is permitted, for museum-owned exhibits, after a waiver is signed.

I'd really like to show the pictures but I think that would be against the rules. There are a lot of really incredible works there. The Roman sculptures, the Greek pottery and the Chinese section are incredible.

A painting that was especially striking for me was George White's portrait of Paul Robeson, in black and white. There are also some examples of Warhol, for those that indulge. There are a number of 16th-18th century masters in the gallery that will merit a look every day of the week. And, the gallery's staff is top shelf. This is one of the better galleries I've ever been to, and is just as exciting as the national gallery in DC.
