Maridon Museum

The Asian art in this museum is the culmination of forty years of collecting by Mary Hulton Phillips. Even though she never traveled farther than Atlantic City, NJ. Mary fell in love with the intricate carvings in ivory and jade and chose each of the over 800 pieces from local or New York City dealers who would save pieces that they thought she would like. 

Before Mary died in 2009 she hired an architect and had the museum built to house the collection that had previously filled her modest Butler, Pa home. The museum is small with four galleries displaying a wide range of art from 2000-3000 BC  to the early 20th century.
     
Everything is accessible.  

Parking is on the street or in the alley that runs along the south side of the museum.  Museum  40.86417, -79.89413
