Even in early times, Bucks County and its environs were noted for their great beauty. In fact, after returning to England from the area, William Penn said that he had seen "the most beautiful of landscapes." These same landscapes would later become a magnet for generations of artists who together form the visual heritage of Bucks County.

Organized thematically with representative examples of narrative, figurative and modern works, this exhibition traces the art of the region from Colonial times through the present. It includes works by naive painters, impressionists and modernists from the Bucks County region.
