One of Lowell's most unique and historic gems. Not to me missed.

Large art collection in an old New England house. I enjoy looking at the 19th century paintings.

Yup. Nice place to kill an hour or so. Can't say much about it, but it was interesting. No pamphlets, no tour, and assistance. You just look and walk around all by myself. I should have done some research before hand but forgot I had the tickets and went last minute. If you have a library membership, you can acquire a free pass for the day. I would call and see if they still provide passes. Was not impressed and unfortunately I love museums. Ya, it's not the Breakers or anything, place did seem small because you allowed to only see a little bit of the building. The man I spoke to for a bit was nice. I am not sure how much the tickets are, but I would not pay over $10.00 or so. If your a fan, please pay what you think it's worth, but this is a place you could use a pass at only. I know, it's not Boston, it's the local history. Wish there was more to see. They saved crumbs. The only thing I enjoyed was a few paintings. I can still picture it in my mind. I got nothing else. Oh well.

James Whistler was born in 1834 in this interesting house in Lowell. The displayed art is enjoyable, although missing some major Whistler pieces. You can walk to the Whistler House Museum from the Commuter Rail Lowell Station. In summer, or warm spring or fall day, you can rest on a bench in the lovely Whistler Park.

This is James McNeill Whistler's birthplace. The family left when he was three and when he was 21 he left The US and lived as an expatriate the rest of his life. The home to furnished with period furniture and is full of art, by Whistler, Arshile Gorky, and local artists, as well as traveling temporary exhibitions. There is a lovely park next to the house that has benches around a lawn, and a sculpture of Whistler. The museum is kind of a hidden gem in Lowell, and is well worth a visit.
