Museum of Art
145 Acres of Art, Gardens and Sculpture
Nassau County Museum of Art is a cultural
resource bringing to Nassau County a range
of visual experiences and quality art
education programs with particular emphasis
on the 19th, 20th, and 21st century art. Ranked among the nation's largest, most
important suburban art museums, 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 addition to the Arnold and Joan Saltzman
Fine Art building, Nassau County Museum of
Art includes the Sculpture Park, Formal
Garden of historic importance, the Pinetum,
an architecturally-significant restored
trellis, rare specimen trees, marked walking
trails, and the Art School where an
extensive array of beginning to advanced art
classes are held for adults and children.
