The Currier Museum of Art is an internationally renowned art museum featuring European and American paintings, decorative arts, photographs, and sculpture, but is also committed to regional art.  The permanent collection includes works by Picasso, Matisse, Monet, O'Keeffe, Calder, and Wyeth, among many others. 

Tour the museum on your own, take a guided tour of the "highlights," or try a tour focusing on specific collections.  Examples of these "focus tours" are "Dutch Art," "Early American Furniture," or "Looking for Love: Scandal in Works of Art in the Currier's Collections."  Additionally, the museum has a gift shop, a café, a library, and a children's room and offers public programs such as live classical music and family art activities. 

The Currier also owns Frank Lloyd Wright's 1950 Zimmerman House, complete with the original furnishings and the owners' fine art collection.  Reservations are required for Zimmerman House tours.

Library passes admit two people.  Visit the museum's website for hours, directions, or just to browse their online collection.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, located in Holderness, strives to "advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire's natural world."

The wildlife on exhibit are ambassadors for their species and are exhibited in their natural setting so visitors can appreciate their beauty, observe their behavior, and better understand their habitats.

Take a walk on the trails and see fishers, fox, bobcats, mountain lions, deer, river otters, black bear, raptors and more in trailside enclosures.  Exhibits feature live animals in natural settings with plenty of hands-on games and puzzles designed for explorers of all ages.  Climb into a simulated bear den or go down the otter slide and experience being a part of an animal's natural habitat.

The Science Center also features a Children's Activity Center, Up-Close to Animals presentations, hiking trails, gift shops, a snack bar, and a picnic area.
