Fruitlands' fine art collection contains 100 Hudson River landscape paintings, over 200 examples of 19th century itinerant portraiture, textiles, and works on paper. Both late 18th, late 19th and early 20th century works are present in the collection to a lesser extent. Most fine art is oil painting, with fewer examples of pastel, watercolor or other mediums. The collection also contains silhouettes, mourning pictures, documents, framed textiles, and glass plate negatives.

Forests Interrupted curated by Laurie Butters and John O'Keefe. This exhibit will use landscapes to explore changing ideas about wilderness and forest management, with accounts of trees’ contributions to New England’s heritage, past and future. Located in the Picture Gallery of Fruitlands Museum.

Face to Face is an innovative exhibit where portraits from the Museum's extensive collection will be on display in pairs, so that you may compare, contrast and imagine what conversations they may have today.

Wood Matters is an exhibit created by Merry Post as an internship project for Harvard University Extension Schools Graduate Museum Studies Program. It uses the museum collections to highlight different wood uses. The Shakers, native people, and 19th-century New England farmers were skilled materials scientists in their use of wood. They selected wood from different types of trees based on the characteristics they needed, such as density, strength, hardness, or flexibility.
