Located in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes region, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art brings the best of the West to the East! American Western and Native American art are the focal point for engaging, dynamic exhibitions and educational events. The Museum renews exhibits several times each year, rotating its large permanent collection of art through galleries based on themes: Wilderness, Buffalo, Horse, Indian and Cowboy.

How to Enjoy:
Here, myths are explored and new ways of thinking about art encouraged. In addition to the exhibition galleries, the Museum provides a series of free drop-in kids’ activities and a Trading Post shop offering authentic Western and Native American items. In the adjacent Cantina, visitors can enjoy Western-style lunch, dinner and snacks.

Trivia:
Did you know that painters often create a field study to capture the scene and then go back to reproduce the artwork? You can see an example of a field study and the finished painting at the Rockwell Museum of Western Art.
