The Michener Art Museum in Bucks County’s Art District is an ever-changing canvas. From its permanent Garber installation to regional painter Edward Willis Redfield, woodworker/architect George Nakashima and rotating collections—it’s a sometimes-overlooked arts gem in downtown Doylestown. It celebrates American art, showcasing the work of many regional, Delaware Valley artists. And as with many artistic sites, it sits on the grounds of repurposed space. In this instance, the old Bucks County Jail on Pine Street, just adjacent to the township’s library and across from what is lovingly known as the world’s largest sandcastle, the quirky and mysterious oddity-filled Mercer Museum.
