Description
Cornell University's Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art is worth a stop for a glimpse of the building it's housed in alone, a bold structure with views of lake, city, and campus. The collection, started by the university's first president, continues to grow, earning the facility the distinction of being one of the nation's most prestigious university museums. Look for Asian art, works by notable American talents (Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper and Thomas Hart Benton, amongst others), paintings from old European masters, African art and an expansive rotating selection of prints, drawings and photographs.
