Art and nature live side by side at the DeCordova Museum

Are you sick of your world? Tired of being confined by walls, by eternal classrooms, and by the tight suburbia of Somerville? Do you feel the need to escape, be it only for a brief afternoon, and widen your field of view a little? Then perhaps, my friends, the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park can bring you solace. Outside, its broad, green lawns invite your eye and mind to wander across the fields dotted with huge modernist sculptures. Inside, a new exhibit on the paintings of Scott Prior give you a window into another world, a peaceful world, that glows with contentment and familial harmony.
