At first we thought it was an old church, but it was a former library. We visited on a bitterly cold day in January and had the museum all to ourselves. The stained glass windows are a treat themselves. Be sure to read the inspirational quotes that each window has. Allow yourself about an hour or so to see and read everything on exhibit. Madison is a nice town that has a main street with lots of shops and restaurants so you can easily make an afternoon of it.

First time visit to the Morris Museum. I went to view the current exhibit "Aerosol," an exhibit of graffiti and street art. The exhibit is amazing especially since all of the pieces are originals painted in the museum. I then ventured to the other parts of the museum and was impressed with each exhibit. The Guinness Collection of mechanical music instruments if fascinating with plenty of hands on interactive things to do. I also enjoyed the other current exhibits. Daniel Rosin's PomPom mirror is a cool object with black and white pompom tufts that change colors as you move back and forth in front of it. The Adventures of Baron Von Steubon and Cromwell: A Kinetic Tale by David Bowman is a collection of metal kinetic sculptures that tell a story. Tap on the foot pedals and the sculptures come to life. Everyday People: Mel Leipzig’s Figurative Realism is a gorgeous display of colorful paintings that you just need to stand in front of for a few minutes. Throw in the other exhibits including the model railroad and dinosaurs and there is something for people of all ages. Looking forward to future exhibits.

What a great place for kids. I spent an afternoon there with my 6 and 7 year old nieces. They loved the art station, the grocery store, the pirate ship, the jungle gym. There was so much for them to do that was age appropriate. I liked that there were separate climbing areas for the younger and older kids. Highly recommend this place.
