Four fine art museums—the Clark Art Institute, Mass MoCA, Williams College Museum of Art, and Bennington Museum—and the renowned Williamstown Theatre Festival, have organized what they call Art Country, an organization to offer reduced-price combination admission tickets.

The northwestern corner of Massachusetts, in the beautiful Berkshire Hills beneath towering Mount Greylock, is a worthy destination for lovers of art and nature.

Art Country acknowledges this and promotes the idea of coming here for several days or several visits by making it more affordable: special combination tickets permit you to visit the various musems in a day or two at reduced prices, or to make several visits over a period of time with the same benefits.

The simplest combined ticket is the 3-way ticket offering admission to the Clark Art Institute and Mass MoCA at reduced rates, and a 20% discount off merchandise at the Williams College Museum of Art (admission to the museum itself is free).

More elaborate combo tickets include admission to the Bennington Museum, famous for its Grandma Moses collection, and discounted tickets to a performance during the Williamstown Theatre Festival.

If you plan to visit more than one attraction in Art Country, you should consider these combination tickets. More at Art Country.org.
