  • What a wonderful surprise and delightful few hours. Truly a hidden gem and work the visit! The rotating art exhibit was impressive and we enjoyed the permanent exhibit and museum store.

  • This little museum really is a diamond in the rough in a very nice park. I wish I visited sooner. I would love to see more advertising and events done here that engage the whole public.

  • Very nice visit to Ellarslie today. Two artist friends had work on display so I went with friends to see their work. The museum is easily accessible through the park and the road was set up for easy parking. Staff/volunteer members were fun and informative. The display for the art exhibit comprised two floors. Most were framed work gathered nicely on the walls and a few stand alone sculptures. Some of the work was incredible. Also on view are many of the museums permanent collection. And of course a stop in the well stocked gift shop$$$. Everybody in my small group of three made purchases. Unfortunately, there was no A/C but the place was very well ventilated and although the sign on the door suggested masks, the staff went without such attire. After my glasses fogged up I removed mine as well. I only saw two other guests on this hot Friday afternoon.
  • A beautiful celebration and ode to Trenton local history. The hours are wonky, which means that I've now gone for two special events, but it is a delight to see the pride and rich history that the museum exemplifies. Great museum shop!
