Located on the campus of the University of Vermont,The Fleming Art Museum has a fine collection of paintings by Vermont-connected artists like;Paul Sample("Haircut"),Herbert Meyer(MondayMorning,Pawlet,Vermont"),Howard Giles("Nineteenth Psalm"),and Charles Heyde("Mount Mansfield"). I also appreciated this museum's very small collection of European Old Master paintings by artists like;Lambert Doomer("Couple With Globe"),Govaert Flinck("Boy with Plumed Hat"),Adrien Van De Velde("Sheep by Brook"),Fragonard("Shepherdess"),and George Romney("Anna Seward").This museum has a small,but interesting collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Everything in this relatively small museum is well-labelled and well-explained.

I learned about the Fleming in an article in BUDGET TRAVEL (along with campus art museums at Williams and MIddlebury Colleges). We do like art and museums and we were looking for something to do in Burlington now that some of the summer-season-only museums and historic sites have closed.
The Fleming was a good choice for us; it has a very eclectic collection plus a number of temporary exhibits that we found very interesting. The temporary exhibits mean that there will be something new to see the next time we visit.
No photos allowed in the museum. Very, very small museum shop (a couple of bookshelves only). Free parking in campus visitors lot.

The Fleming Museum is quite small by large city standards but its content is well worth a visit. The special exhibitions are probably its biggest strength - check to what is on before you visit. Parking can be a bit of a problem - the closest parking is on UVM's campus and not readily available to non-UVM folk.

We had a very bad experience today, trying and not succeeding to visit the Fleming Museum. We planned for a long time to visit the museum and included it in our trip plans. We are visiting from overseas and we have a rental car. The access to the Museum Parking was closed and we were redirected to a visitors parking located half a mile away from the museum. Here however we had the surprise that there are very few parking spaces for cars without a campus permit and that parking can be paid only by using an application on smart phones - there are no pay machines! For a visitor coming from overseas this is mission impossible. We simply had to renounce to visit the Fleming Museum today. Hopefully, the visitors parking for the museum will be accessible the next time, but we are aged enough not to be sure there will be a next time.

Liked seeing Vermont artist Weyde painting of Mount Mansfield. Special exhibit of pop artists enjoyable. Neo-colonial building is interesting.
For parking, park in adjacent visitor lot. You will need to go inside museum for pass.
Go to restaurant nearby in hospital - great value.

We had a rainy day in Burlington so looked for a nice museum visit. Saw this on Trip Advisor so decided to give it a try. The museum is small with 2 floors and maybe 8 or so big rooms for display. There was a special display on the main floor plus a nice display of Senator Leahy's photography upstairs. The Leahy exhibit was unexpected (did not know he was a photographer) and showed multiple photos of events that only he could capture. Throughout the museum was a small but representative sample of art from al periods so something for everyone. Well worth a visit.
Tip: There is a visitor parking lot right next to the museum. Get a pass inside and return with some quarters for the meter.

The Fleming has 10-12 distinct display areas, each focused on a different theme or geography. In each area, there is a small but very fine collection, well-annotated. So, unlike the situation in many museums, here you don't get exhausted or overwhelmed. The spaces are all attractive and the exhibits are interesting. We spent a very pleasant 90 minutes here (and saw everything that was on display).

Parking next to the museum was free with a pass from the museum. We enjoyed the Native American Art collection which includes objects from across America and not just from Vermont and New England. A special exhibit of some of John Singer Sergent's paintings are now on view. The Pacific Island nations' exhibits were quite interesting, too. We plan on going there again on our next visit.

Had a great time visiting this museum, lots to see including a Mummy and because it’s at the Vermont University they had students stationed in all areas in case you have a question. Overall time well spent.

If you approach the museum from the west it will be on the right. There is a parking lot on the right just before you get to the museum. Don't park in that one. If you make the mistake of turning down that road it's awkward going around the block and getting back to where you turned. Go past the museum and make the next right. This is a driveway for a hospital. The parking lot you can use will be the next right. After you've parked you'll have to go in and get a parking pass to put on your dash.
