The owner was beyond accommodating he clean up the Art Space prior to the event. He also included tables and chairs that I was able to use to seat my guest a refrigerator to store any kind of food and or beverages in speakers to hook up a phone or laptop to to play music in lieu of a DJ.

We got the free passes from the Milford Library last August and proceeded to bring the kids on a very HOT Wednesday afternoon to utilize the AC. What a pleasant surprise! We were the only patrons that day and had the run of the place. People's Bank also sponsored a recycling exhibit in the "Gallery" that was particularly thought provoking. http://www.barnum-museum.org/

The roads and campus were really quiet on Saturday, and parking seemed to be available in their parking garage for visitors. Whether there were visitor designated spots, I wasn't 100% clear so I pulled into the first available spot. The museum is located in Lafayette Hall and while there was a security guard located in the general area, there doesn't seem to be an employee on the weekend to provide information or answer questions on the art. The signage was not the most comprehensive I've seen, and it was very small (two rooms that seem to be for rotating exhibits, a hallway exhibit on Little Liberia, and other older pieces on the second floor). On the other hand, it was also free. The art was beautiful, the Little Liberia exhibit very interesting, and it must be great for students who will be on campus already to be able to enjoy the works of art. As a visitor, particularly on the weekends, you may want to note this will be a quick stop and have plans for the remainder of the day.
