The Art Complex Museum, located in the historic town of Duxbury 33 miles south of Boston, serves as a regional art center and houses the impressive collection of the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser family. The history of the museum is interwoven with that of the Weyerhaeusers. Carl A. Weyerhaeuser, grandson of the founder of the lumber business, chose a Rembrandt print, The Decent from the Cross by Torchlight as a graduation gift when he completed his studies at Harvard University.
Situated on over thirteen acres of woodland and open fields, the handicapped accessible museum opened in 1971. In addition to a gallery for rotating objects from the permanent collection, and exhibitions spaces that feature painting, sculpture, prints and craft objects created by contemporary artists, the museum houses the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Reference Library of over 5,000 publications. Located on the grounds is a Japanese tea hut, part of the museum’s Asian collection.
