This “Where in the ADK?” challenge takes us to the Southern Adirondack Woodlands’ jewel box of a museum, which has an incredible collection of European and American Art spanning centuries.
One of Northeast America’s outstanding boutique art museums is right in the Adirondack Park.
A prominent Southern Adirondacks family, whose wealth came from lumber and paper milling, spent their lives collecting art and amassing a treasure trove of masterpieces. They stipulated that their estate, including their home, be turned into a museum to benefit the region.
Former home, now a world-class art museum.
Today, this place is considered one of the exceptional small art museums in the Northeast, with distinguished European and American art collections.
The permanent collection consists of more than 5,000 works of art.
The core collection includes works by renowned artists such as Sandro Botticelli, El Greco, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Additionally, it features works by American artists, including Thomas Eakins, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, and James McNeill Whistler.
An extraordinary collection of art masterpieces in the Adirondacks.
The Museum’s collection of Modern and Contemporary art includes works by artists such as Josef Albers, Dorothy Dehner, Sam Gilliam, Adolph Gottlieb, Grace Hartigan, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, George McNeil, Robert Motherwell, Ben Nicholson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Bridget Riley.
