1. The Stabin Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 15 reviews
Red brick and stone facades, an underground aqueduct, original maple hardwood floors, and an exposed rock wall at the base of the mountain all lend a distinct architectural ambiance to the complex, which throughout its history has been a place for innovation and fabrication using the most innovative technology of the day. Often compared to Dr. Suess, Salvador Dali, and M.C. Escher, Stabin's work is a world unto its own that defies description. His work is an homage to the arc of art history from the influences of centuries-old Japanese watercolor print artists to contemporary graphic arts. His work is inspired by many facets of his own life including his family, an interest in the connection between man and nature, water and the water’s edge. Don't miss the Children's Gallery, Projection Room, Victor's Turtle Series and Cafe Arielle. a restaurant/bar with an underground stream visible from the dining room as well as a stunning outdoor patio - The Avant Garden. True fun for all ages!

My husband and I have appreciated Frazetta's stunning art for many years and we were thrilled and excited to find a museum only a few miles away from our new home. Our visit there was not only inspiring but his daughter, Lori, took the time to give us a wonderful tour and history of many of his magnificent, original pieces. A must for Frazetta fans!
