One of my favorite places on earth is the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Ma. It has a magnificent art collection and is home to the new Stone Hill Center where exhibits of Winslow Homer and John Singer Sargeant are being showcased. The building itself is quite a site, being designed by the Japanese architect Ando. The building also houses the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. In an area like the Berkshires with so many cultural attractions, the Clark stands out as a special place that combines our cultural attractions, our sense of history through the conservation of our past art works, and our recreational and environmental beauty of the Berkshires. This picture was taken August 7, 2008 (yesterday) from the deck of the Stone Hill Center overlooking the hill down towards the main campus. This is a beautiful location that combines outstanding art with the natural beauty of the area.
