Art Galleries in Cape May, NJ

“CP and Jon were very helpful and knowledgeable. We had been admiring some Ken Rausch ribbon pieces but weren't sure it would work in our space. CP was extremely helpful in helping us visualize some options. We purchased 3 pieces but once we got home quickly realized it wasn't enough to fill the space. I called the gallery and spoke with Jon. He was fabulous in sharing images via text of additional pieces that would compliment. In the end, the art looks as though it was customly designed specifically for this wall! A wonderful gallery with a varied selection of art to compliment everyone's taste!
PS - Even if you have the wall measurements, sometimes the husband isn't right ;)”

“Coined as America’s first seaside resort, Cape May became the country’s summer resort destination because of its effortless transport by water from Philadelphia to the Atlantic Ocean. Early visitors of Cape May included Henry Clay, Ulysses Grant, and possibly Abraham Lincoln in 1849.

Victorian-style architecture was the most common style used from the 1860s to 1900s, during Cape May’s reconstruction.

Perhaps one of the best-known Victorian houses is the Emlen Physick House. As Cape May’s only Victorian house museum, visitors can tour inside, as it was part of our combo trolley ticket.

Named for Doctor Emlen Physick, he completed his medical training but did not practice medicine and lived off of his generation's wealth. Designed in 1876 by famed architect Frank Furness, the mansion is an excellent example of a stick-style house. It’s characterized by geometric shapes and partially exposed timbers that hint at the house’s support structure. An eighteen-room fully furnished features with period-accurate Victorian goods and offers a glimpse of what life was like in the late 1800s.

The tour guide, Chris,, was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history.

Well worth the extra few dollars!”

“About half genuinely vintage and antique booths and half modern creators or mimicry. The place was bigger than I thought and we ended up spending longer there than we thought we would just seeing everything. The booths aren’t manned but it seems like different people rent and supply the different booths. If you know yourself to overspend, definitely make a pact with yourself before you go in - one as a first threshold and one as a final threshold if you have to push it.”
