What to do and see in New York, United States: The Best Art Galleries

May 14, 2022 Florencio Paulino

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Do not miss DM Weil gallery if you are in the New Paltz area! Donna's art is absolutely stunning--vibrant, colorful, joyful, radiating light. Donna works on premises and it is so special to hear her talk about her wonderful art on display. Donna, Sammy, and Ken are so sweet and welcoming, as well as incredibly knowledgeable with regards to both the art and the many printing services they do in house. This was a wonderful place to spend the afternoon, not to mention I picked up the most unique hand-painted overalls!

Sculpture Garden

Pepsi was one of the few corporations to seriously invest in modern sculpture, and the result is this impressive collection.

Reviewed By BuggyBPG - Cos Cob, United States

I was meditating and focusing on my heart chakra during my come-up as I meditated by the pond and the trails started to kick in as I meditated and the clouds were coming off of it it was like a Monay painting. I got up and started strolling through the sculpture garden. Let me tell you, the visuals that go with this is priceless. I wish I had the words for it or a way to draw it for you or maybe take a picture of it in my mind - like a tripping camera how aweseome would that be! Anyway The ladies were dancing around and around and around me and I felt connected to the universe, I felt that each of them was an element and all of them working in unison made the world go round. Then I got a little bit sick and had to boot. I recovered though, got up, and jogged around the park. I found a nice bench to sit down and meditate once I found myself regaining control and focus. I definitely found that this place helped me realign my energies. I recommend it.

Brooklyn Museum

The Brooklyn Museum is one of the largest art museums in the United States and one of the premier art institutions in the world.

Reviewed By USALouise - Gurnee, United States

We traveled from Chicago to visit the excellent Frida Kahlo exhibit, and were very impressed, especially by the large collection of her clothing featured in so many of her paintings and photographs. Great videos, too. But the rest of the museum offered other fascinating exhibits. Don't miss the Do Ho Suh fabric recreation of his apartment on level 5 ("Perfect Home II") --- Note: it's only available for showing on weekends. We especially enjoyed the Dinner Party by Judy Chicago on Floor 4. (Tip: Be sure to wait for a circulating copy of the book that accompanies the exhibit. There were only two copies available when we were there, but without the booklet it's hard to fully appreciate the exhibit).
