| The Museum has become
a cultural resource bringing to Nassau County a range of visual
experiences and quality art education programs previously unavailable
in this suburban area. Accordingly, we present the works of internationally
acclaimed artists in the main Museum building, a permanent collection
of miniature rooms in the Tee Ridder Miniatures Museum, educational
programs for all ages and special exhibitions for local talented
artists. |
Joan and Arnold Saltzman Fine Art Building |
The Museum's
magnificent natural site on 145 acres, its formal gardens and
fascinating history offer a setting unique for monumental outdoor
sculpture, historic architecture, a collection of flora rare on
Long Island, performances and first-rate fine art exhibitions.
The Museum is located 20 miles east of New York City in Roslyn
Harbor, Long Island. Since its privatization in 1989, it has become
the largest suburban fine arts museum in the United States in
terms of attendance, volunteer participation and budget, Slowly
but surely we are emerging from the shadow of the "best kept
secret" in Nassau County.
