Nassau County Museum of Art

Details

An official Path Through History Site! Ranked among the nation's most important suburban art museums, Nassau County Museum of Art (NCMA) is located 25 miles east of New York City on the former Frick Estate, a spectacular 145-acre property in Roslyn Harbor in the heart of Long Island's fabled Gold Coast. The Museum’s Mansion, a three-story Georgian-style building, exemplifies Gold Coast architecture of the late 19th century. The Manes Center for Art and Education, formerly Childs Frick’s laboratory, offers formal and drop in art programs for all ages. NCMA also offers a world class outdoor sculpture park, Formal Gardens of historic importance, the Pinetum, ponds, woodlands, an architecturally-significant restored trellis, rare specimen trees, and nearly 6 miles of marked walking trails. NCMA presents major rotating exhibitions, many of which are original to the museum and are organized by the museum's own curatorial staff. Always adventurous in scope, exhibitions reach across a broad spectrum of artistic concerns.
