i went to the 'ol ivy league princeton campus art museum on a tour the other day. cute classic college town and the art museum is well curated and has something of everyone major in the art world.
we did not spend a whole lot of time there, i need to go back for an overnight visit sometime.
you can easily visit via nj transit or amtrak trains to princeton junction, then there is a little train spur transfer known as 'the dinky' ride up to the bottom of campus.
Aw dang you beat me to it, lol. I've got a folder full of Princeton pix I've been meaning to share. Ah well.
It's a nice town for sure. Did you ride the Dinky?
no i was on a bus tour to the hindu temple in the morning and princeton art museum in the afternoon, but when i go back on my own we’ll take the train and the dinky.
i hope you post your pix anyway — you can post them here if you want to.
I am a philistine, I don't recognize any of those artworks, but very beautiful place. But what's up with that German looking building in the first pic? Is that new?

the first two pics are commercial buildings across from the campus on nassau street. i guess nassau street had a weird history of being ‘an invisible wall’ of only high end shopping for a long time before merchants finally cracked and decided to cater more to students starting in the 1990s.
The UK looks beautiful in the spring, that building covered in ivy must have thick walls to be holding up strong with that amount of old ivy on it. It’s cool. Great NYC shots too.

Great pictures! I knew I would see that half-timbered building in one of the pictures.
I took that train from Princeton Junction to NYC with friends a couple times to explore during the day back in my 20s. That was my first exposure to Princeton.
If you go back to see the Modernist architecture on campus, also make sure to see Hobey Baker Arena, the oldest hockey arena in the NCAA (recently second-oldest, until Matthews Arena in Boston was demolished in the last few months).
