This is a rare well balanced combination of a truly spectacular architectural gem with a magnificent major university art collection. The "jewel" of a building being set on a campus with other very significant architectural gems! Visit Sage Chapel and Anabelle Taylor Hall's Chapel while you are there! Take in the Baker Dorms for a trip back in time to... More

I took my family there and we stayed much longer than planned. It's well-designed with a nice mixture of different exhibits and a good variety. There a few hidden gems that I wouldn't mention and spoil the surprise. There's probably more that I didn't notice and I would like to go back. Views from the top floor are also amazing.

exhibits are excellent but don't miss the view from the fourth floor which has Asian art and a lake view/town view

This very unique museum is in a beautiful setting on the campus of Cornell University. The building was designed by I.M. Pei and takes full advantage of the sweeping views of Cayuga Lake. For anyone who loves art, GO!!

I wonder why I had not been to this place earlier. Even though I don't understand art much, I had a great experience. The collection is amazing.

This place attracts us time and again. It always has interesting exhibits and its regular collection is quite interesting, as well. Certainly a cultural high point in Ithaca. And colorful vernissages too...

I always stop at the Johnson museum when I travel to Ithaca - not only for the art but for the building's architecture and the stunning views of the area from the museum's top floor.

I'm not into the art museum but the view from the top is fantastic. You can see in all directions and the scenery includes all of Cornell plus Ithaca including Cayuga Lake.

We really enjoyed this museum. The guide books touted the views - which are amazing. But the collection itself is really quite good. I wish that we had planned more time there. The building itslef is UGLY - but functions well once you are inside.
