I've yet to see an exhibit that was actually exciting and interesting. Most are boring, the staff stuffy and police-like. The gift shop is a huge disappointment, carrying minimal items and nothing really "art" or handmade. More

You might want to call or check ahead since this is a relatively small gallery and will generally have only one or two major exhibits but is is top notch. More

I went with a friend to see the glassblowing exhibit sponsored by Corning. It was a very well done production which we watched three times. The museum itself is has a rather extensive collection of well known artists such as Chagall, Matisse, and Gauguin. I loved the impressionist paintings. Please be sure to visit if you happen to be in... More

The Norton Museum was a nice surprise. Especially we were delighted to see the interesting collection of European Art. Artists include Chagall and Matisse, and the present visit by the Corning Museum of Glass (with working artists) was a real nice addition. More

Its a nice place but not very exciting and the food menu is not very familiar to the average person so you will most likely end up ordering something that may surprise you. More

Some galleries and collections are overwhelming but this is a real find and treasure. The gallery has a great flow from room to room and offers an excellent, quality mix of artworks including contemporary and examples from Cezanne, Gauguin, Soutine, Raeburn and Reynolds as well as examples from all periods of American art. There is a three-level wing and currently... More
