Cape Ann Museum (CAM)

Amazing museum. My first time in Gloucester and I learned so much about the history of the oldest fishing port in America! The museum was informative and well laid out with diverse subject matter for all. Loved the light house lights on display!

Wonderful museum filled with history, artifacts and great works of art from local Fitz Henry Lane to Edward Hooper and Gilbert Stuart. The variety of collections within their multi-level building are well curated and displayed. We had the opportunity to be there for the Hopper at the Beach show and returned with local friends a couple of times. It is - as they say - a hidden gem and once you find it; you'll be back again.

We were here to see the Edward Hopper exhibit that's running from July to October as a celebration of Edward Hopper' works inspired by the houses and the towm of Gloucester itself. Excellent display and the rest of the museum is also a great place to visit if you're in the area. You can possibly spend 2-3 hours if you want depending on your space. There are also some cool sculptures in the courtyard. There's limited parking in a lot across the street. A gift shop is located inside the museum that sells magnets, books, postcards and other things. CAM is located in what's basically Downtown Gloucester if you're interested in exploring restaurants, shops and cafes.

This is a lovely little museum with many wonderful paintings and sculptures displayed in beautifully arranged galleries. The staff without exception was friendly and helpful. Go on a Tuesday or Wednesday if you can. But for me, the jewel of the setting is the extensive and usable research library. Don't leave Gloucester before you visit the Cape Ann Museum! My photos are from the quiet and shady garden.

The best museum on the north shore by far. The cape Ann museum has everything you need to know about cape Ann. The people that run and work at the museum are spectacular. The architecture of the ships and the building itself is impeccable. The archive area is amazing they have everything from trains to fishing to even reports on the cape itself. Just a all around amazing place to go to. Would recommend 5/5

This is a great little museum in downtown Gloucester. The Winslow Homer exhibit was really well done, showing his time on Cape Ann & the various items, people, themes that inspired his work during that period - beautifully done! The permanent collection highlights Gloucester's long history with the sea & includes living artists, something I really appreciated!

An outstanding museum focusing on what makes Gloucester unique. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. I highly recommend taking advantage of a tour with a docent. The 60-minute tour was informative and engaging. After you are finished at the museum, walk toward the water a couple of blocks and you'll have plenty of great cafes and local shops to choose from.

A quaint museum in the beautiful and historic town of Gloucester about an hour's drive from Boston. Right now, the museum is showing a must-see exhibition of Edward Hopper. It was in Gloucester 100 years ago that Hopper became the Hopper we know today!
