The Arnot Art Museum is a hidden gem. Theres a nice variety of artwork. The reception staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This art museum is a very special place to spend an afternoon.

Kind of conflicted as to what to write. Good museum for a city of this size. I was very disappointed that they had taken down the Hudson River School artists, which is what I had come to see, and replaced them with local artists. Im not sure why they do that, but Im hoping there is a good reason. Were out of towners so cant really return when they bring the exhibit back. Sad.

Phenomenal collection! This is a must see if you are visiting Elmira!!

Never been sounds cool

A gem here in Elmira!

Worthwhile if you are in the area. Although somewhat small in size the museum does display many powerful paintings and sculptures. I believe that if you budgeted an hour here you could see everything with time to reflect on the more powerful pieces. Recommended.

Pretty cool place. They have about four rooms of paintings and one of various antiquities.

The Arnot Art Museum is a world-class institution of fine art located at 235 Lake Street in Elmira, New York, and open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10am - 5pm. A landmark in downtown Elmira, the Museum is housed in the 1833 neo-classical mansion of John Arnot. His son, Matthias H. Arnot, added a Picture Gallery in the 1880’s and bequeathed his home and collection in 1910 to become the Arnot Art Museum, which opened to the public three years later. The Museum displays a permanent collection of seventeenth- to nineteenth-century European paintings, nineteenth- and twentieth-century American art and collections of Asian and Egyptian artifacts. Temporary exhibitions highlight various aspects of the collections and include works from museums around the world.
