James A. Michener Art Museum

The old Bucks County jail, once a place of fear and despair, was transformed into a welcoming center of culture and beauty... guarding the artistic soul of Bucks County.  The James A. Michener Art Museum, celebrating 20 years of collecting, is home to a world class collection of Pennsylvania Impressionist paintings, hosts nationally touring special exhibitions and showcases important regional artists.  The Museum is accessible to visitors with disabilities and offers ample free parking.  Please visit our website for complete exhibit schedule, hours and directions.
