About

Description

Nassau County Museum of Art is located about 25 miles east of New York City in Roslyn Harbor, Long Island on the former Frick Estate, a spectacular property in the heart of Long Island's fabled Gold Coast. The main museum building, named in honor of art collectors and philanthropists Arnold and Joan Saltzman, is a three-story Georgian mansion that exemplifies Gold Coast architecture of the late 19th century. In 2017, the museum inaugurated The Manes Family Art & Education Center. This new facility has allowed the museum to expand its menu of programs and works on view.

Nassau County Museum of Art preserves, enhances, and interprets its collections for the people of Long Island, the State of New York and beyond. The museum is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of the arts, with particular emphasis on the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries; to enhancing and adding to its outdoor sculpture garden, to continuing to improve its historic gardens and to keeping an active schedule of exhibitions and educational programs for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Wonderful place to spend an afternoon! Beautiful art sculptures/pieces layered on a very walkable park like setting! Plenty of seating around the area for resting and enjoying the scenery! Recommended! Did not go into the Museum itself, $15 just wanted to enjoy the beautiful day!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Four stars are for the grounds & trails. Two stars for the actual Art Museum/ Collections. Art is very subjective, we all know that. Just expected a little more from this location. Few rooms with works from limited artists.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Quaint little museum. Fantastic value of your local library has free family tickets! The art seemed to be mostly abstract and modern. The kind you feel your kids should be able to produce. Several gallery rooms downstairs, then several more upstairs. Spacious mansion gives ample space, light, and ceiling height to make it enjoyable. The outdoor sculpture garden was even better. The art was just as hallucinogenic post modern, but the grounds are fantastic to walk around. Grab a map before leaving the museum building left of the door and check off the exhibits as you walk around.
Beautiful outdoor museum! Lots of beautiful walking areas, gardens, sculptures, you name it! They have a large parking lot for busy days. Really beautiful place to walk around & take in the beauty! We saw lots of people having a picnic, walking around, enjoying the outdoors.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
I was at this venue for the Twilight Pumpkin on 10/28/2007 & 10/26/2008. The hundreds of jack o'lanterns I remember were perfectly carved. I was here 2 full weeks ago with a group from a local studio for all abilities in my town. I enjoyed viewing the gift shop and most of the artworks in the museum. They inspired me to expand my art. The tour guide was very nice and loved my knowledge of art. I enjoyed looking at the outdoor sculptures despite one in the group invading my space, which was why I didn't fully enjoy the experience. It's beyond the museum's control, but had I been in a group where all participants were behaving themselves, I would have enjoyed it more. I may register for some summer classes and look at opportunities to improve my art at this place.
We didn't do the museum but walked the grounds and checked out the main house no charge. The current artwork displays in the house were interesting and well documented. I would have liked to learn more history of the house itself. The "hiking" trails were not marked at all but passable. The historic cottage has sadly been neglected for years. It has a lot of visitor potential but apparently hasn't been funded for 30 years or so. Worth a couple of hours visit. No food or beverages but there are restrooms in the house.
The museum is lovely but the star here is the grounds. This is a hidden gem of a sculpture garden around a one mile loop. It’s one of my favorite places in all seasons. You can park and walk. It doesn’t matter if the museum is open.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Small but nice museum with special exhibitions. The outdoor space has sculptures to see and benches to relax. They have some nature trails which I want to check out next time. It was confusing to find the main entrance because it’s not clearly marked as “Nassau County Museum of Art.” You’ll know you’re in the right place if you see the “Arnold & Joan Saltzman Fine Art Building”. I got a free pass which was easily and quickly honored. I was very happy about that because I would’ve been disappointed had I paid $15 for the small selection.
The Nassau County Museum of Art, located in Long Island, New York, is a hidden cultural treasure. It boasts a diverse art collection in a stunning natural setting. With its ever-changing exhibitions, helpful staff, and enriching educational programs, it's a must-visit for art lovers and families. Be sure to check their website for the latest exhibits and enjoy the outdoor art structures. Highly recommended!
Great little spot! Wish there was a bit more to see only two floors of art, each floor having about 3 rooms to look in and wish the gift shop had things like magnets and pins. All in all, though, it was very pretty, interesting, and relaxing to spend a few hours there!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$16–20
