Lucky to have this museum in Syracuse. Recently attended a workshop on creativity and therapy. Good environment for this type of activity. In past, have attended their Christmas displays and music presentations.

Worth going! Not too big so you can do it in an hour or two. Nice collection and gift shop. The building itself is a work of art.

We like what we call Real Art, not Op/Pop/Modern Art, inc. Picasso that looks like a child did it. But, Renoir, Realism, even Impressionistic. You'll find all of that here, so see what you like. I love the old, excavated art from centuries ago (permanent collection). There are 3 floors of it and a cafe. Free, but they like donations.

Terrifically eclectic collections, perhaps unexpected in a traditional older industrial city. They don't offer a soup to nuts survey of classical art, but if you appreciate their specialties or rotating exhibits they are terrific. If you live anywhere near Syracuse and haven't been there, you should make a point of going regardless of what you think about art museums. The... More

I love to look at artwork, and there is certainly a lot of classic and modern work to enjoy here, but the staff policed our every move as if they assumed we were up to no good, when we were just trying to have a nice family outing. We were the only patrons there at the time, so maybe if... More

I've been here three times in 3 years and am sad to report there is nothing new to report. Maybe I'm jaded and have seen too many museums, but this place just does not excite me. Aside from its wonderful ceramics, the collections leave me feeling like i just went to a banquet and only got a stalk of celery.... More
