Great museum. Could be a tiny bit cooler inside though. (Or maybe it’s just hot flashes?) Great place. Talented artists. Activities for kids too.

What a lovely museum and park! It’s a small museum but well curated with a nice range of art and artists. I was especially excited to see a few pieces from Courtney Leonard, a local Shinnecock artist. The grounds are so lovely as well, with a beautiful pond with walking paths and a large playground. Free entry and parking, helpful museum staff, and lots of kids activities. Great for an afternoon out!

I was first there in the 90s, with myself and other Park Rangers, to speak to the public about Sagamore Hill National Historic Site in OysterBay. It's been an absolute pleasure to be there again for one of my niece's (Courtney Leonard) and her Native/Environmental Art Instalations. The museum is still as beautiful and comforting now with its caring staff and lovely grounds. It's wonderful!

The works of art were beautiful and we would have enjoyed the museum more had we not been followed around and made to feel unwelcome. We were given clipboards to complete activities during our visit but this was quickly overshadowed by the conversation had with me about the delicate nature of the exhibits and the importance of keeping the group in control. The group that attended consisted of 5 well behaved 10 year old cub scouts that were supervised by 3 adults. The guard in the museum shadowed us during our visit within the small 3 room museum. There were other children visiting with families that were not given the same “attention” as our group. This was a disheartening feeling for the adults in our group that felt uncomfortable during this time. The scouts were filling an art requirement for an elective earning over the summer and this was a missed opportunity to reinforce and instill a love of arts through questioning and exposure. I would not recommend this museum to my Cub Scout pack for a future visit. As a classroom teacher, I would not recommend this museum for any class visit.

As I explored the museum's collection, I encountered a wide range of artwork, including paintings, sculptures, prints, and photographs. The Heckscher Museum is particularly known for its strong collection of American art, with works by well-known artists such as George Bellows, Thomas Moran, William Merritt Chase, and Childe Hassam. The European collection features works by prominent artists like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and Max Weber.The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that highlight specific themes, artistic movements, or individual artists. These rotating exhibitions add a dynamic element to the museum and provide visitors with the opportunity to experience new and exciting works of art.

Yes this museum is a small in size, but the buiding itself is beautiful, collection was fun to look at, the temporary exhibit was great, too. They have small space that kids can experience making their own arts and stuffs. That was great idea, too. My kids and I both enjoyed this museum.
