When Mother Nature calls over Massachusetts way, it's the Berkshires, a rugged mountain range stretching across the western edge of the state, that pick up, a place popular with outdoorsy types for the abundance of trails on offer and the arts-oriented for the local selection of cultural attractions.
Smith College Museum of Art isn't overwhelming in size but it does boast a very well-rounded collection of fine art. In addition to works by well-known Europeans from the last two decades like Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, John Everett Millais and Pablo Picasso, and American artists like Childe Hassam, George Inness and Thomas Eakins, the museum's permanent holdings also includes pieces of African, Asian, Native American (including a piece Jaune Quick-To-See Smith) and Contemporary art. Thoughtfully curated changing exhibitions range widely in medium and theme, from design objects to photographs and installations.
