Story

The Arnot Art Museum is a landmark jewel of the art world in downtown Elmira, New York. Housed in the 1833 neo-classical Arnot family mansion, it is one of the last remaining private art collections formed in the 19th century still exhibited in its original showcase. Matthias H. Arnot added a picture gallery in the 1890’s and bequeathed his home and collection in 1910 to become the Arnot Art Museum, which opened to the public three years later. A 1985 addition by Graham Gund Associates provides additional exhibition galleries.
The Museum displays a Permanent Collection of 17th - to 19th –century European paintings, 19th- through 21st- 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.
