A bunch of us got together yesterday to visit a tantalizingly beautiful garden on Bainbridge Island, about an hour from Sequim. There was a chance of rain. And it was raining in Sequim. But we hit the road with optimism, ever hopeful. The rain didn’t let up but Plan B was no disappointment either. We visited the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, a sleek and modern spot that I for one had passed many times on the way to the Bainbridge ferry to Seattle.
It’s a small two-story building with a nice rooftop garden and one side opens onto a pretty courtyard. The art on view is a small collection — enough to be engaging but not so much as to overwhelm. For me it was just right. There’s also a nicely curated gift shop and a small bistro that made me long for an early lunch. All in all a very nice substitute…and the garden still waits.
Unexpected surprises are often the best. I like your jaunty attitude about the rain. Never minded rain so perhaps I would have enjoyed it too.
A museum sounds like a great Plan B! Rain often makes the colours so wonderfully rich, though, so might not turn out so bad after all. 😉
I like the architectural style!
I love the look of the building from the outside!
Yes, it does seem like a fine alternative to a garden. Nice looking museum.
