Douglas Albert Gallery

The owner is very rude. Last week I came in and asked him if he is purchasing artworks because I have an original printing made by Luis Germán Cajiga. Even before I started telling him the artist name he said he doesn’t purchase works from individuals, which is fine. Then he told me to bring the actual work instead of a picture. And then changed his mind again about it. I said thank you. And as I was walking out of the place, he told his customers that I was «crazy» and laughed. I went there just to ask the owner a question. I don’t know what I did wrong to deserve this.

Visited State College for the day and stumbled upon this little gallery. I was surprised to find all the various collections in the store from all over the US — very unique and one of the kind store. Bought reversible ceramic earnings. There are many nice paintings also. Definitely worth the visit.

Cluttered is cool! This is not minimalist design gallery. The store is packed with tons of great art, to some extent you do have to hunt trough it to find exactly what you are looking for but that’s what makes the Albert gallery stand out.
The gallery has local artists but they are blended in with national and international artists, they are not given any special recognition just for being from the area. This isn’t a gift store its a fine art gallery like you might see in a major metropolitan area.
Check it out even if you are not their to buy the staff is always happy to have you walk through and appreciate their art. Most folks put some change in the «browsing bowl» after they see the quality and quantity of art at this informal museum, across from the tavern.

Really unique place. Every piece in there has some kind of a story, and Douglas is always happy to tell you about it.
Cool place to visit. Interesting mix of stuff.

What a lovely little shop!!! It’s so beautiful inside; I can hardly keep from buying everything I see! I can’t wait to start my full-​time job to afford this beautiful art. Not to mention, you’ll never go in and see the same item. There’s always something to discover. The owner is a lovely man, too. It’s obvious that he is very passionate about the shop. I highly recommend!

The gallery itself looks more like a cluttered retail store; the display is very poor. Its hard to find anything and you can barely turn around without knocking things over. Does not ever stock art by local artists, rather they are a bit aggressive in putting down local artists instead of helping enrich the overall art scene of State College and the surrounding area.
