There are so many beautiful works of art in the Princeton University Art Museum, I strongly recommend you visit it. You will see pieces ranging from early Christian religious paintings, to modern video installations. In addition to their wonderful permanent collection which includes works by artists such as Monet, Van Gogh, Chardin, Jerome, and Rembrandt, the museum curates special exhibitions that vary in content from photographs of dilapidated buildings, to Japanese ink paintings on silk. A special treat is Jacque Louis David' study for his painting
The Death of Socrates. This large painting provides insight into how the master approached his work, and the unfinished section offers a rare glimpse into the beginning stages of his painting process.
For me this museum is the best kept secret in the region. It's never crowded, admission is free, and it delights the viewer with some rare and beautiful works (see some photos below).
