This Museum is a small gem that always surprises! The Ronald Lockett retrospective, Fever Within, was totally moving! His biography so tragic to have died so young is reflected in some of the work but so is his compassion. You really feel the raw emotion of his work in the subject matter he chose. The companion exhibition that the Folk Art Museum put together using one of Locketts most compelling works ONCE SOMETHING HAS LIVED IT CAN NEVER REALLY DIE was thought provoking and wonderful and a dramatic way to utilize works from the collection that related to this powerful theme. Additionally they have the best museum shop in New York!

Its a small and nice museum with interesting exhibitions. Admission is free and they have a really nice shop, with cute notebooks and nice toys for kids. Great to buy special gifts! I went there with a friend and it was quiet and clean. We were allowed to use the lockers to leave our backpacks. Be careful because you are not allowed to touch anything in the exhibition. They also host some events there!

Μέτριο. Πολύ αμερικανικη τέχνη. Αλλά διοργανώνει εκδηλώσεις δωρεάν. Παρακολούθησα τζαζ μουσική από ένα εκπληκτικό συγκρότημα 3 ατόμων. Μου άρεσε πολύ. Η είσοδος δωρεάν για ολα

Coming from an artist, I love places that showcase new art. Its a good way to promote creativity and imagination and also for small time makers to be recognized. Its a great place for inspiration and just to see what great things other people have created. Definitely recommend going here just to see what great things they have for the public to see!

It is a small enough museum so that you can explore the whole selection in one or two hours. Which is great. It is not as intimidating as MET or Natural History Museums. Also being seeing original American folk art is great, which makes this museum unique. Ill try to visit this museum whenever they change their exhibition.

This is a nice and small museum. The gift shop has cute things. I was a little disappointed because I was hoping to see some work by Henry Darger but was informed it wasnt on display and the man I spoke with wasnt sure when they would be putting Dargers work back out. I will definitely return in hopes to catch it!

Featuring an old New England portrait painter, Wm. Prior as well as some female self taught artists. Small but interesting stories attached to all the paintings. Free but suggested $5 donation. Docents are quiet and helpful. Gift shop is small and cute. Another nice little stop on a bright, cold morning.

Nice place when they have a good exhibit (at the time of writing this they have an amazing one on military quilts- 5 stars!). Cant beat free admission. Nice storage lockers. Wonderful gift shop. I only wish it were more family (young kids) friendly.

Very interesting to learn a little about American popular culture. The Museum is not big, therefore, is not necessary to allow a full day for this visit. The gift shop has beautiful USA crafts and museum staffs are very polite.

Small gallery, but generally interesting art. Usually only a few artists up at a time so easy to learn about them. Also admission is free. Folk/ethnic music concerts on most Fridays is also free.

This small museum is perfect to visit in an afternoon. The exhibits and the gift shop are wonderful. As the name implies, the works are handmade. Free music on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.

Small ground-level museum with interesting art exhibits. There are no admission fees. Taking pictures is prohibited. There is a small gift shop with books of the current exhibitions.

This place is an Americana time machine. Visit and peruse the nearly 5000 objects that have been carefully curated to represent three centuries of American folk art.

The American Folk Art Museum is not very big but the art is interesting and eclectic. It is usually not crowded, something I find to be a good thing.

I got there and no exhibitions were open, only the gift shop. It would be good if they said so on their website...
