Rockwell Museum, Art museum in downtown Corning, New York State.
The Rockwell Museum is an art museum housed in a historic 1893 building with three floors displaying American paintings, Native American artifacts, and bronze sculptures. The structure itself features gallery spaces across multiple levels dedicated to different artistic periods and cultural traditions.
Robert F. Rockwell Jr. founded the museum in 1976 as a new art institution in the region. In 2015, it gained recognition as the first Smithsonian Affiliate in New York State outside New York City.
The museum displays works by artists like Frederic Remington and Albert Bierstadt alongside contemporary Native American creations across its galleries. These collections reflect the importance of American art history and indigenous cultures that visitors encounter as they move through the space.
The museum sits in downtown and is open daily for visitors to explore its galleries at their own pace. There is also a separate art space for children located nearby in the same area.
The museum sits on ancestral Seneca Nation land, connecting art history with the region's indigenous heritage in a meaningful way. Special community exhibitions periodically feature creative works and celebrate local artistic traditions throughout the year.
