A must see in Princetom! This museum is a five minute walk away from Nassau St., housed in Princetons McCormick Hall. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged. There are extended hours on Thursdays. If you come on a Sunday, meters are free on Nassau St. The museum has an impressive collection of European art, Byzantine art, and Greek vases. Scattered within mix are a few famous names like Monet, Degas, and Picasso. My favorite section was the contemporary artwork, although it was small. Plan to spend a couple hours here!

Small,free collection. You can enjoy this museum in several hours. Has a small gift shop in front. Suggested donation per person is $5. There is a free lot on campus but it was full. I would recommend parking in the parking garage near Tulane Street and then crossing Nassau Street as the entrance to the museum is basically a straight shot from Tulane Street into campus. We wasted time looking for parking.

Definitely an impressive collection in terms of variety and age. Seldom crowded at all; the tours usually mention and then skip past it, so its a great place to duck into the air conditioning and out of the summer throngs. Also a good first-date spot, after youve strolled over and finished your treat from one of the local ice cream joints.

Look, its Princeton University. The art is top notch. The permanent collection is fabulous and spans every continent (except maybe Australia and Antarctica). Its free. They have programs for kids on Saturday mornings. They have guides for kids to look at art. Its free. Its big enough to be interesting but small enough to handle. Love it.

This museum has famous works I didnt expect to find outside of NYC or other big museum and admission is FREE. P.U.A.M. is located on the beautiful Princeton University campus, just a short walk off the main street and square in downtown Princeton, where there are plenty of places to eat, shop and enjoy too. *Highly Recommend

Современное искусство не впечатлило, а вот старинный экспонаты очень интересные собраны разные эпохи и культуры. Разрешают все фотографировать.

Great exhibits-- excellent inspiration! It was a really great day at the museum, everyone was very friendly! They have fold up chairs, you can use while youre there, to sit in front of something you want to draw...My boyfriend brought his younger siblings with us, and they loved it too!:) Well be back soon!

A hidden gem in Princeton. If you have spare time, definitely pass through, even if you have gone before as they keep changing it up. If you are looking to kill any period of time, its a good stop. They have some guided tours for free which are pretty good

Casey Meyer

A great museum featuring some fantastic pieces of art. Almost every piece features a description (past what the piece is), which is super nice. Free admittance and free storage for backpacks and assorted other things you dont need to bring in.

Excellent permanent collection -- especially the world cultures on exhibit downstairs. Also, seen several outstanding traveling exhibitions in the front gallery. The building itself is well-designed, a very fine place to view the work.

Peter Kidd

A museum of a manageable size, with a varied collection, including things like non-Western (African, etc.) and medieval European sculpture, contemporary art, as well as the standard paintings collection. Also free, and in a nice setting.

A small collection, have pieces represent all style and time periods, some of them are very high quality. Not a place one should make a trip to visit, but if a art lover happen to be in the area, it is definitely worth a visit.

A hidden gem in the heart of Princeton. Right on the Princeton University campus this museum has artifacts and paintings from all over the world. Real Monets, Van Goghs, and a whole lot more. Best of all its free!

We love the mix of variety of arts ranging from sculptures, prints, European art and Asian art. The place also hosts special exhibitions. Great place to spend a weekend afternoon when its damp or chilly out.

Já faz um tempo que eu fui... Mas era legal. Só que o de nova York é bem maior.

Savannah Paige

Even those with little appreciation will find something here to marvel at. Been many times and am still astounded at the collection they have. Pieces I never dreamed Id see in my lifetime!

Stefan Balan

Superb collection, but most recently we were not able to bring in our 6 month old daughters milk bottle and baby carriage. This wonderful museum was more child friendly not long time ago.

A Private User

Had no idea the local museum had some of the best impressionist paintings in the world-- works by Money, Manet, etc. Highly recommended and great kids program offered periodically...

Elizabeth S

The art and exhibition pieces rotate regularly (but not completely) so you can see new things even if youve been before. The downstairs had artifacts and the upstairs had paintings.

Lisa Nazzaro

Great gem in the heart of Princeton NJ - Just the right size to spend an hour or two. Fabulous exhibits and always free. I love this place and frequent it as often as possible.

Anup Puri

Excellent weekend activity with a suggested contribution for your visit. There are new interesting exhibits every quarter. All in all a fun thing to do when visiting Princeton.

Sam Poat

Being an art noob I really enjoyed how the museum was laid out with clear signs of what was where and the time period. A great collection from my perspective. Plus it was free!

Aleksey Maslov

A small, but a very good museum in Princeton University. Admission is free, and they have Van Gogh, Monet, many pieces by American artists, and many historical artifacts.

Karen Finkelstein

Beautiful campus with an array of cultural offerings open to the public. Great place yo walk and take in the architecture, landscaping, sculptures and people watching.

Bill Fair

Weve been here a number of times and its always a great experience. The special exhibits are well presented and the museum is laid out for a smooth flow of traffic.

Brian Weeks

Small, but great! Free admission, they just ask for a donation at the door. Free lockers are available if you would like to check your bags. Wide variety of art.

Dominyka Stockunaite

Small museum but it’s free! Lovely date idea for the artsy fartsy couples. Princeton in general is a great atmosphere. They have lockers for your drinks.

Dinesh Shenoy

Such a wonderful place for any one from any age group or background. One will come out richer by experience when he or she visits this amazing place

Sagar Setru

A small museum in the heart of Princeton Universitys campus. They have a great variety for the size and there are also amazing temporary exhibitions

Alan Jackson

Excellent little museum. The collection is small, but very high quality - I have been to many much larger museums that were not as good as this one.

Timothy Advani
