Art Complex Museum

The Art Complex Museum is an art institution in Duxbury featuring multiple exhibition spaces that display American paintings, Japanese art, and rotating contemporary works. The modern building holds a collection focused on both artistic traditions while providing space for changing exhibitions.

Carl A. Weyerhaeuser founded the museum in 1971 to share his personal art collection and artifacts with the local community. The creation emerged from a desire to make artworks and cultural objects publicly accessible.

The museum hosts regular printmaking demonstrations through BIG INK events, where artists and visitors experience traditional woodblock techniques together. These gatherings bring the art-making process directly into the space, creating opportunities to see how artists work.

The museum is located on Alden Street and opens Wednesday through Sunday with free admission for all visitors. Plan time to explore both collections at a leisurely pace and to attend the regular demonstrations and events.

The collection unites two distinct artistic traditions under one roof, a combination rarely seen together in museums. This contrast between Western and Eastern art practices creates an unexpected perspective as you move through the galleries.
