Palmer Museum of Art

Located in the heart of Penn State's main campus in State College, PA is the Palmer Museum of Art.  The entrance to the building is impressive, as it features two stone "Lion's Paws" on the entryway, symbolic of the college's Nittany Lion mascot.


Inside, you'll find a quaint museum, featuring works of various genres of art ranging from American contemporary to African and Asian sculptures.  The museum is about two floors and, unless you are a true art enthusiast that spends lots of time studying paintings, you will spend about an hour in here to explore all the various galleries.

If you're on campus at any point in time, it's definitely worth checking out for a little bit, especially as the admission price is free (although donations are always appreciated by the museum).
