p buckley moss museum

We had visited the museum at the "Barn." It is now on Main Street in downtown Waynesboro. Still a great place to visit. BTW, our GPS sent us about 10 blocks shorton Main St. The staff said we weren't the first ones to tell them that.

Nice museum, great displays, retail store has everything from jigsaw puzzles to throw pillows to tastefully framed/matted paintings...something for every budget.

We love to do self-guided walking tours of the cities we visit. It is so personally gratifying to walk the streets and learn the history of a city and the people that live there. One of our stops led us to the P. Buckley Moss Museum building. We were delighted by the tin ceiling and the original light fixtures. It is so worth a stop and look see!

Fantastic collection of work by P Buckley Moss with a variety of her work from all periods, not just her Mennonite people.

The museum closed in July 2014 - they are in the process of opening a gallery in downtown Waynesboro - as of 8/13/14 the gallery is not ready. We tried stopping at the museum 8/13/14, maybe one day we will be in the area again.

We enjoyed our visit to this attractive museum. The artist was previously unknown to us, but we really appreciated seeing her work. Too bad the museum is closing soon.

Love Pat's work! Art work was well displayed. We understand this is the last day this museum will be opened. It is closing down.

If you like this artist's work you'll be pleased as there is a lot to see...two floors worth, including early works on forward. It was FREE which was so nice and prints etc were for sale. I enjoyed viewing her various styles. But I was told by the curators that they are closing July 2014 as they are moving all her paintings to other galleries....one I know will be in Richmond. Get their quickly!

I had never heard of P. Buckley Moss, but now I want to share her art with everyone that I know! The saddest thing I heard while visiting the museum is that it will soon be closing in July 2014. I am so glad that the skies were threatening last Wednesday, and my grad school girlfriends and I selected P Buckley Moss Museum to visit on an overcast morning! The art collection is voluminous! The art is excellent, captivating, and calming, and the artist's life story is deserving of a movie. Best of all this museum is FREE! There is a web site from which to see her art and order.

This is a museum is worthy of your time and attention if you are in the Waynesboro area. Pat has chosen the Amish and Mennonite people in the local area as her subjects to depict their simple way of life in her paintings. You will be impressed by the attention she gives to every detail. Allow at least 1 hour of more here at the museum. We stayed at the Iris Inn in this nice town and traveled to Staunton for dinner at the Mill. Wayesboro seems to be a small town but makes a nice central location for the sights in the area.

My lady and I went through the museum rather fast as it was close to closing. I have to admit I learned a bit more about Moss, including some of her early styles. I thought the gift shop prices rather high. I would come back again.

Hearing the story of Pat Moss and seeing her art is a unique experience. There is no fee for a tour. Great place.

We were not familiar with this artist. We were staying in Waynesboro to visit the Presidential homes in the area. We picked up a brochure and thought it sounded interesting. We were right.Great display of the artist's work and life. Would recommend even if not a big art lover. Very informative staff.

We are from Iowa and very familiar with this artist so it was interesting to see this museum. The museum is a beautiful building. Most of the pictures shown are Virginia based and I would liked to have seen a little more variety. There is a very large doll house with all the trimmings and it was worth the stop. We were there about an hour.

Beautiful Art museum. All of her work is on display plus they have a gift shop worth shopping at. The artist comes to her home town four times a year and signed any art work you have of hers.
