I drove over an hour, arrived and found no parking. After circling the area several times, I double parked and went in to inquire where I could park and was told there were 11 spots outside the entrance. Yes, I said 11 spots. I wasted an entire day because some idiot thought 11 parking spots was adequate for an art gallery at a major university.

Not really sure of what to think about this place. There were a couple good exhibits but certainly older works. This newer stuff, to me, just seems so bizarre. I am more of a landscape or portrait lover than some sketchy naked lady pulling a long ribbon out of her vagege, making a mess to express her freedom of being a woman. I also don't get the abstract art but of course I am sure my mind isn't as expensive as "the Artist".

Art museum located on Cornell's campus. Likely not populated during the year. 5 floors of great artwork, and some "artifacts", spanning different cultures. Lots of varied media that I assume is seasonal. Check out the "safely crossing..." Piece. That one was one of the best. Decent selection of contemporary art as well from current students and alumni.There is an elevator that's needed to access some floors. Also, there are plenty of bathrooms.It was busy when my brother and I went due to parents dropping off their students and sticking around to visit the museum. Not the most available parking nearby either, but parking at Cornell is **free on weekends**. Be prepared to walk... Maybe up some hills... If you are unable to park in the lot by the museum.

A neat little museum where you can easily sink couple of hours in. The view on the terrace and the 4th floor is amazing, and the exhibitions are culturally diverse and ranged from ancient to modern. The terrace is a great place to chill and can be quite cool during a hot summer day. Would recommend, just remember to put your backpack at the reception before going into the museum.

Great museum building with a wonderful collection and dedicated staff. The layout is a bit confusing at first but definitely serves to keep the mind alert and promote "original awareness" regarding the collection. It's as though a beautiful work pops out around random corners. Definitely recommend and wort a visit. Entrance is gratis.

Wonderful museum. Some art is not for children, but we are all adults here. (Really though, watch what your kids are looking at.)

As I understand it, much controversy ensued before this structure was erected. The name is unfortunate since it bears a resemblance, as some view it, to a large chair or throne. It does have a curious way of framing the landscape. (Photo: Cornell University)

Wonderful views of Cayuga Lake, Ithaca and Cornell from the 5th floor. We started on the top floor to see the views. We wanted to take the elevator down one level at a time to look at the art on display. Unfortunately, the elevator wouldn't stop at any other floor except all the way back on the ground level. What we did see was nice.

This museum is honestly incredible. Several floors of art from all time periods across numerous cultures. They have some permanent exhibits as well as changing ones which is nice because it keeps things fresh. I found my visit here interesting, educational, and thought provoking. Plus admission here is free!? Very high quality museum, cannot believe it's free to visit. Highly recommend

Amazing! There is an astounding amount of art to enjoy. The early Egyptian, Asia and South Asia were my favorites. The views from the 5th floor are nothing short of breathe taking. Truly. Plus it's FREE admission.

Fabulous museum to check out when you are in Ithaca No admission fee. There are some parking spots out front for visitors. Free on the weekend but you need to pay Monday through Friday for 6 PM. Small but nice permanent collection they usually have outstanding rotating exhibits. Incredible views from the top floor as well as an interesting outdoor viewing area with a light installation.

Just amazing! The view and building is just so beautiful that we don't even have paid attention on the arts.

Do not bother, there is no parking. We drove2 hrs to see this museum and are both art historians, but NO parking. Very upsetting. I also taught Museum Studies—ACCESS!! Is extremely important.

Do not bother going. There is such limited access that parking is nearly impossible. We are art historians and museum staff-absolutely worst access to any museum we have ever been to-perhaps a shuttle from downtown would help. We drove 2 hrs just to see this museum and I could not be more upset with this lack of access. No excuse.
