ART

Besser Museum's fine art collection includes watercolor, oil, pastel, acrylic and collage paintings, prints, art pottery, and sculputure. The Museum's extensive collection of art that cannot be found any where else in Northeast Michigan, includes works of art from Michigan artists such as Tom Moran to world renowned artists like Cezanne, Renoir, Dali, Picasso, Warhol, Rivera, Chihuly, Clewell and more!

 

Because we have such a great collection of fine art we change the exhibited work on a regular basis. For information what is currently being exhibited please give us a call at 989-356-2202.

Besser Museum applauds and supports the talents of local artists and the organizations that promote art appreciation. Several of these groups call Besser Museum their home.
