Having collected Frykman Christmas figures, it is always fun to see his shop. There are many delightful figures and now there are special carving pieces with wood from the Eagle Tower - beautiful! And in addition, there are many beautiful photos and other art. Well worth the visit to this special gallery.

Really enjoyed our visit(s) to Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Door County, South of Fish Creek. They really expanded their sculpture gardens and my favorite is still always the inside buildings where they added a balcony to a new gallery. So bright and such wonderful art of all types. Great jewelry! Got some treasures each visit as we had to come back the next day. This is really the “art museum” of Door County, where just looking is okay. And everyone is so friendly and helpful. Will come back next year for sure as it’s the highlight of our Door County traditions.

Off The Wheel Pottery

Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States

This old barn is the perfect place to display pottery by exceptional artists... All at reasonable prices. Since there's work by multiple artists, there's a wide range of styles and creativity. You're sure to find a piece that grabs your attention. One word of caution... The parking area is small. If you're driving anything larger than a full size pickup, you might want to reconsider pulling in off the road.

Fine Line Designs Gallery

Reviewed By rshedges516 - Ames, United States

They had an artist reception on a Thursday evening and it was well attended. Art was overpriced, but glassworks were unique and priced fairly. My wife bought some earrings and they were beautiful and classy. They also sell outdoor art which can be found at only a few places in Door County.

Lardiere Gallery and Studio

Reviewed By dpa796 - Manitowoc, United States

We have a couple of beautiful pieces from the Lardiere gallery. They are often complimented in our home. Recently as we listed our house for sale, an interested buyer wanted to inquire about purchasing the art. It is that beautiful and perfect for the places the pieces are displayed. We will happily take them with us, however, to hang in our new home. This gallery is a must see for those who love contemporary art.

Door County Maritime Museum

Where Great Lakes maritime history comes alive! Located along Sturgeon Bay’s working waterfront, the Door County Maritime Museum showcases the area’s rich maritime roots. The museum features several interactive exhibits, as well as tours of the immaculately restored seagoing tugboat John Purves. Hard-working fishermen, brave ship captains, skilled craftsmen, bold inventors and lonely lighthouse keepers are just some of the personalities you’ll discover in the galleries of the museum.

Reviewed By Scott077 - Saint Louis, United States

This is a wonderful museum with some history of the town's contributions to the ship building industry and contributions to the war effort WWII. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours to take it all in. If you are lucky enough to be able to take a tour of the tug John Purvess, I would jump on it. Special thanks to Executive Director Osgood for taking time to conduct a non-scheduled tour of the tug John Purvess!!!! The museum is in safe hands with him.
