Since we were there in the late fall we couldn't get the full benefit of the grounds, which although nicely manicured had turned brown due to the weather. The galleries, one of which was the main floor of the former Dixon residence were nice and had excellent exhibits. We got to see the Friedel Dzubas exhibit which is there through January 5th, They offer senior and AAA discounts.

What a great way to spend our Friday afternoon. Me and my love went for lunch and decided to take in the Garden today. What a great idea that turn out to be. We meet some of the smart school age child on a field trip. We watching an artist paint a piece of art live. We bird watched say and read the paper and listen to the fountain stream water. If you have never experienced this Free part of Dixon Gallery and Garden , then you are missing an absolute master piece. Trust me on this one the kids will be thanking you for years and it's so romantic. Next, week we explore the Dixon original family seating area.

Beautiful setting. Gardens are so serene. Staff was very friendly. Cafe was worth a stop too! Scavenger hunt and magnifying glasses kept it interactive enough for my 5 year old, although the museum won't be his favorite spot to go. However he loved the gardens and the cupcake at the cafe!

A great place to stretch your legs as well as see some artwork. The usual collection contains works by French Impressionists as well as installations by Jeff Koons, Rodin, and Jun Kaneiko. The grounds are manicured, with bubbling fountains and sculptures throughout. Also a great place for weddings and events, as they do rent the space out. Free on Saturday mornings and pay what you can all Tuesday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

This is a great place for a pleasant garden walk and a beautiful art gallery. There is a permanent exhibit, of course, but I enjoy the temporary exhibits that come through. The variety is good in terms of media and culture.
I've been to several work-related conferences in the meeting room, which is a delightful setting.
Saturday mornings before noon admission is free, so we drop by for a leisurely stroll through about once a month.
During the summers, Food Truck Fridays are a lot of fun as well.

The gardens are very peaceful, and we wandered for a while before going inside. The collections there are small but beautiful, with very many famous painters and interesting art pieces. The temporary exhibit on display during our visit was on perfume, and was a very interesting plunge into this facet of history and art. My visit in the spring caught blooming gardens and trees. I enjoyed the setting as I hadn't on a previous visit in the winter. I was there for the State of the Art exhibit and enjoyed the found art theme. The shop is small and carried a nice array of interesting gifts. So much to see!
