fuller craft museum

This is a small museum, but often mounts excellent shows. In fact the relatively small size allows these shows to be changed several times during the year. Admission fees are modest and there's a nice gift shop, as well as a pleasant café overlooking the lake. Easily good for a one- or two-hour visit anytime.

We take for granted so many of the local attractions to the Brockton MA area but leave places like the FCM. Check their website for timely events especially around the cold weather months with the family!

The museum is a wondeful craft museum filled with amazing works of art. From the baby dress made from used tea bags(incredible) to the works in wood it is a wonderful place to visit

I regret I did not take the detour here before this week. Its really not far from the Mass Pike if you go to and from Boston. But what a treat. Very high caliber, interesting exhibits. I was bowled over by the Annette Bellamy exhibit as well as the fiber art.Its a small museum but large enough for four good exhibits. There is a small gift shop. No food available but nice seating by the lake.

I won a couple acting school scholarships to this museum when i was a kid "early 70's" It was a nice museum then and had a lot of modern local art. I hear its still nice and the location is right by D.W. Fields park which is a nice ride through DURING THE DAY!!!!! Brockton can be very rough at night. All though I believe they close the park at dusk.

Did not know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to find this small interesting museum.It is a nice little excursion and not that far off the beaten path when heading to the Cape.The museum is not overwhelming. It is a fun place. The people working there are friendly and make one feel "at home". Admission is so reasonable that no one can quibble.It really made for a nice day's outing.

I went there as part of a tour from the Convergence Conference in Providence (weaving conference -- Handweavers Guild of America). The Fuller Craft Museum is hosting HGA's Small Expressions 2014 show. It was quite impressive. The Fuller also had a larger, more impressive fiber exhibit that included multiple mixd-media fiber arts -- they ranged from a tiny, impressive landscape embroidery to a "quilt" made of fish skins. There is art outdoors, and lots to see indoors with their permanent collection as well as their temporary exhibits like Small Expressions. I was impressed with the range and quality of what I saw there. Lucky folks to have such a nice Craft Museum nearby!

Tucked in the woods just one stop beyond Ikea in Stoughton who knew there was such a charming little museum dedicated to contemporary crafts?Having recently visited Paris and being overwhelmed with the size of the Louvre (no I am not comparing the two in anything other than the size) this little museum can easily be seen in under two hours. the current exhibit on fiber arts is nothing less than spectacular. The small gift shop has items made by local artisans. This is one place I plan to visit again and again.

I was looking for a place to go that would be interesting for people between the ages of 7-75 and found this hidden treasure close to Boston. The exhibits were stunning and unique. It was a true mixture of art and craft. The setting next the water is just a bonus. I would definitely recommend this as a perfect family outing for families that love art and craft and are looking for something different to do.

We go here often when grandchildren visit, since it's near our home, not expensive and not too big. The exhibits change often and there's much that's fun to look at. We have also enjoyed some of their musical events.

I was very, very impressed by the museum and the exhibits I saw there this past Fall. I hope that people make the trip down from Boston to visit this high quality museum. I saw work by world-class furniture makers, fiber artists, ceramic artists and weavers. I particularly like the group exhibit of baskets. There was some very modern, innovative work. I hope to visit the museum whenever I am near Boston.

I have been able to catch some great musicians and performances at their Thursday night art series. Plus the food and wine is an added bonus.

I participated in a craft demonstration here with some friends to teach the public about woodturning and decoration. I had a great time demonstrating and browsing the museum during breaks.

By boyfriend and I visited on a winter Sunday afternoon in March. The soulful and colorful exhibits of the exhibit titled:The Stories We Tell with artwork by Tommy Simpson, Michelle Holzapfel, and Binh Pho drew me in and kept me curious and connected the whole way through. The staff was eager to share knowledge regarding permanent and interactive exhibits. There is outdoor space here too, which seems like it would be great to explore in warmer weather. They have workshops and lectures there by the artists and a free night during the month (check the website.) I would not expect to buy too much at the gift shop unless you have a surplus of disposable cash. Nevertheless, this is a great little museum and completely worth your time if you appreciate craft art.

Have been there a few times for different exhibits. It is bigger inside than it looks. Very interesting place to visit. Have also been there for a wedding. The food was delicious.
