The Rockwell Museum, in association with the Smithsonian Institution, is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2016. The diverse collection includes a mix of contemporary American art with traditional bronze sculptures, landscape paintings and other works that embody the American experience. Housed in the beautifully restored 19th century Old City Hall building, The Rockwell is active in the local community and holds special events and educational programming with area public schools. The Rockwell is an evolving community center, showcasing the best of America through compelling exhibitions and imaginative programs. The Rockwell provokes curiosity, engagement and reflection about art and the American experience.

The Museum is located at 111 Cedar Street, Corning, NY, one half mile south of Exit 46 on the Southern Tier Expressway (Rte. 17), at the corner of Cedar Street and Denison Parkway (Rte. 352). See the museum's website for hours and admission fees. (Information as of 4/16)
