Review for Reynolda House Inc, Winston Salem, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Reynolda House has a terrific collection of American art from early portraits and Hudson River School though late 20th-century "isms". Much of the collection is comfortably displayed in the the country home of R. J. Reynolds, so it is like browsing the art in someone's living room. The newer gallery space houses changing exhibits. There is also space for educational programs and public performances. My personal favorites from the collection are John Sloan's small etchings of New York life at the turn of the century - a glimpse into the homes and lives of working-class folk by one of the keenest eyes of the era.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

summer programs for young people

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Train the guards to back off a little - sometimes people need to get close to a work of art to examine details.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I have attended public programs and visited the collection on many occasions.
