Frank Lloyd Wright in New Hampshire!

Looking for a day trip? Perhaps a drive up to New Hampshire is in order. Head to Portland and its wonderful downtown filled with boutiques and great restaurants. Better yet, head to Manchester (I know, I'm recommending Manchester! Times have changed, and so have places!) to the Currier Museum. The museum has a solid collection of Picassos, Monets & O'Keefes. The museum recently went through an expansion plan, which includes not only more gallery space but a Winter Garden, mosaic floor and an auditorium with a piece by contemporary artist Sol de Witt. And the Frank Lloyd Wright part? Check out the Zimmerman House, the only NE home by him. Currier Museum is at 180 Pearl St in Manchester, NH.
