The Rockwell Collection
The Rockwell Museum tells the story of the American experience through fine art. Housed within the Old City Hall building of Corning, this diverse collection includes a mix of nineteenth-century American paintings, historic bronzes, and Indian artifacts as well as twentieth-century modernists, illustration art, contemporary photography, and historic firearms. Featured galleries represent the works of Andy Warhol, the Taos Society of Artists, and masterworks of Remington and Russell. The NEW Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Gallery opens to the public on November 16, 2017.
Temporary Exhibitions
Our collections and rotating exhibits serve great purpose in the community. These works of art are functional teaching pieces – they present some of our best opportunities to connect with our audiences, young and old. Now on view, find Modernist masters of printmaking, Contemporary Katsina Dolls from Hopi tribes, and the ongoing Lock Stock and Barrel exhibition, featuring historic firearms from the American Revolution to the Hollywood cowboy.
