The Whistler House Museum of Art, birthplace of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, was established in 1908 as the permanent home of the Lowell Art Association. Founded in 1878, the Lowell Art Association owns and operates the Museum as an historic site. Built in 1823, the Whistler House presents the richness of the history and the art of Lowell. The Museum maintains its permanent collection and organizes contemporary and historical fine arts exhibitions. It also sponsors varied educational and community oriented cultural programs.
Works from the Museum's permanent collection are on display in the galleries of the Whistler House. The focus of the collection is late nineteenth and early twentieth century American representational art, with special emphasis on the artists of New England.
Among the artists represented are Frank W. Benson, Thomas B. Lawson, William Morris Hunt, William Paxton, David D. Neal, Frederick Porter Vinton, William P. Phelps, Cullen Yates, and Aldro T. Hibbard.
The Whistler House Museum is itself fascinating from an historical as well as architectural vantage point. It is not only the birthplace of one of the world's most famous artists, but was the home of some of the great minds from the Industrial Revolution in America.
It houses works of some of the best artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.Among the artists represented are Frank W. Benson, Thomas B. Lawson, William Morris Hunt, William m. Paxton, David D. Neal, Frederick Porter Vinton, William P. Phelps, Cullen Yates, and it has one of the largest collections of works by the famous Rockport artist, Aldro T. Hibbard. Visitors may view works by many contemporary New England artists in the Museum's Parker Gallery.
