This was our second time attending Yuletide in the Country and it was once again a unique and lovely experience. The buildings were decorated beautifully for the holidays and the actors did a wonderful job, as did the tour guide. This year’s presentation portrayed the holiday traditions from various countries which was educational and entertaining. I would highly recommend!

A visit to the Memorial Art Gallery is a journey through more than 5,000 years of art history. From the relics of antiquity to works in the vanguard of contemporary movements, the Gallery offers a panorama of the world's art. With the completion of Centennial Sculpture Park, the Gallery's 14-acre campus has been transformed into a spectacular urban space that is a destination for Rochesterians and visitors alike.
Nicely-curated exhibit of this turn of the century artist who was most-noted for his posters for Sarah Bernhardt. Beautiful lithographs on display, some illustrating techniques for adding color.

The Arnot Art Museum is a landmark jewel of the art world in downtown Elmira, New York. Housed in the 1833 neo-classical Arnot family mansion, it is one of the last remaining private art collections formed in the 19th century still exhibited in its original showcase. Temporary exhibitions highlight various aspects of the collections and include works from museums around the world.
This small museum, housed in a renovated Greek Revival home, contains one of the few private collections left intact in its original setting. The first curator and home owner was Mattias Arnot, the founder of the museum. His 70+ pieces of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century European paintings of world-class art is displayed in a drawing room in a salon style not normally seen in art museums. There is a galley of artists from the Hudson River School. Another small gallery contains early Egyptian antiquities including scarab beetles, ushabtis, cuneiform tablets and a life size xray of a mummy. Other changing exhibit galleries hold representational and contemporary art which I found intriguing and different. For a museum this size, it holds its own. Admission is a value and there is free parking in the back of the museum.

This small jewel-box of a gallery on a street lined with mansions hosts superb shows, with perhaps the most notable being the annual Quilts=Art=Quilts show. This event showcases work by outstanding quilters from all over the world and the quality of the pieces is astonishing. The 2018 show really wakes up the cones in your eyes while offering plenty of food for thought as well. Upstairs, the member’s gallery awaits, with a surprising, impressive range of talent on display. The spaces are of reasonable size such that a visit here is refreshing, not exhausting. It is a very well-run facility with a charming gift shop as well. A visit here also pairs nicely with a stop at Case Labs and the Cayuga Historical Association next door, the former being where sound film originated. Check online for current exhibits.
