Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art

The museum building features a concrete tower design with five floors offering views of Cayuga Lake and Cornell University campus through large windows.

The museum opened in 1973 under architect I.M. Pei's design, replacing the original University Art Museum established by President Deane Waldo Malott in 1953.

The permanent collection contains 40,000 artworks spanning multiple periods, including pieces from Albrecht Dürer, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Andy Warhol.

The museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00, with free admission for everyone throughout the year.

Two original windows from Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House are part of the permanent collection displayed in the museum.
