诺克斯艺术馆

Last weekend, on the way home from Canada, we stopped at the Albright-Knox to check out the latest exhibits. What a wonderful surprise when we arrived to discover that they are making admission free on Sundays until May 17, 2015. They are always open free on M&T First Fridays but this is a special opportunity for people to see some of their wonderful collection. And, it seemed that a lot of people were taking advantage of the opportunity. We also had lunch and it was delightful. Their cafe is bright and sunny with a nice view of the courtyard and the salads we had were delicious. Highly recommend you stop in some time.

We stopped by on a Friday because of the free admission. We were able to have a free guided tour, which was very helpful! There was also live music in the cafe from 5:30 to 7:30. The A-K doesn't have a huge collection of art, but what they have is excellent! It's a wonderful place to spend a Friday afternoon and evening.

The Albright- Knox Art Gallery is not to be missed. From the moment you see the stunning architecture and every step along the way you will be in awe. I have been in many galleries around the world and this one certainly can compare or surpass any of them. There are many collections that cover a wide variety of time periods. They even offer some Friday night free admission. The fees are reasonable anyway. There is plenty of parking and a park nearby for an outside walk.

Outstanding collection of modern art. Beautiful buildings, lovely grounds on the edge of Buffalo's Olmsted park and parkway system.

The Albright-Knox is a wonderful museum. While it includes works from many time periods, most of the art was collected in the mid 20th century, and it's greatest strength is in the area of abstract expressionism: Jackson Pollack, de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, etc. Also a good collection of early 20th century paintings. So if you "don't like modern art," it may not be for you. But if you do, it is one of the best museums in the country. It also has a very manageable size and is rarely crowded, with a good café, all making for a very nice art-viewing experience.

One of the most beautiful structures in Buffalo and definitely worth your time.You can check on this, but they usually have free admission the first Friday of every month.There's also a restaurant and outdoor spaces that are very welcoming in the summer.It's across the street from the Burchfield Penny gallery, also worth seeing.A couple of blocks north is then Buffalo Historiical Society, though I think they recently changed the name to the Buffalo History Museum. That is a beautiful building and a must see if you love architecture.

I love art and museums and during our get away in Buffalo we visited this little gem. I was surprised to see one of Constantin Brancusi's sculpture Mlle Pogany. It made my day as I am an admirer of Brancusi's work. What a beautiful piece of work! Mlle Pogany was the sculptor's love. I loved to see some of Picaso's paintings.

There are many things to like about visiting Buffalo, once one of the wealthiest and largest cities in the nation. In addition to many architectural gems by Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, the city boasts the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, a world-class art museum. Besides its own rich collection, the museum presents important visiting exhibitions in a beautiful space. A gift shop is there, of course, but the museum also has a very nice dining room. Ample parking is available.

This is a small museum but worth a visit if you are interested in art. This is not the MOMA but it is simply an elegant, little place when visiting Buffalo

My wife and I returned to Albright Knox Art Gallery after about a 15 year absence. Virtually everything is modern art, with a few impressionistic and cubist items. We were there with a friend and all three of us were bored after 30 minutes.

Our French friends visited us in Buffalo and by far the highlight of their visit was the Albright-Knox. They were thrilled to see so much French painting and loved the layout, the "walkability" of the gallery. We had a delightful lunch in the gallery's restaurant.

The Albright-Knox is a must see if you are in Buffalo. It has a superb collection of modern art, mostly American and it is situated in a beautiful park-like setting.

Albright-Knox is well worth a visit. Great collection, atmosphere and surroundings. Exhibit is always changing. You can feel here. It is big but not overwhelming. Part of what makes Buffalo a super place to live. Also, across the street is the Burchfield-Penney Art Gallery which specializes in local artists, like CHARLES BURCHFIELD! You will enjoy Delaware Park, magnificent houses and the Zoo, all which are nearby.

having traveled extensively, and visited museums all over the world, I can say this gallery is one of the best. With an emphasis on modern art, but with an extensive collection of "old masters", this gallery can hold its own with museums in Major cities across the globe.

The museum has a very nice collection and it's not crowded. It's pleasant just wandering and taking in the beautiful, varied works.
