Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca

Took my girlfriend here and had a fantastic experience. I really appreciate that it is free and donation based. There is a lot of different styles of art to look and you can spend a long time here. The architecture of the building itself is pretty neat and I'd like to return in the summer when the outdoor sculpture garden is open. The staff are helpful and friendly. The best part in my opinion is the absolutely phenomenal view from the top floor (5th). It is essentially a 360 degree observation tower that allows you to see a beautiful view of everything including Cayuga Lake, Cornell University, Ithaca College, the city of Ithaca, and more! I only wish that there was more guest parking. This is obviously not an easy request but there are clearly not enough parking spots for all of the guests that visit.

Wonderfully diverse collection housed in an I. M. Pei landmark museum, nestled in the heart of Cornell University's gorgeous Ithaca campus. Also free admission, helpful staff and breathtaking views!
