‘Homer at the Beach’ Museum takes look at painter’s early years
When Cape Ann Museum opened this past weekend, more than 25 people were waiting in line to enter the Gloucester museum to see the main attraction, the recently opened of “Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter’s Journey, 1869-1880.”
Oliver Barker, the museum’s director, said the special exhibition has caught the attention of many visitors since it opened last week. He credited its early success in large part to collaboration between the staff and volunteers who are committed to the museum.
