Museu de Arte Herbert F. Johnson

Experiência fantástica: It was gorgeous I loved it!

Experiência positiva: Art is neat and it's awesome is free. Spectacular views on 5th floor where the Asian art is (my top floor). Some of the art isn't the most exciting

Experiência fantástica: Great art collection and curation. Spent approx 2 hours viewing both historical and contemporary art. Fantastic Asian collection. Interesting building. Not surprised by this strong collection at Cornell, but a nice surprise for upstate New York. Free entry also a plus. Happy we visited.

Experiência fantástica: Enjoyed the museum and their exhibits. Especially the gem stones and the fifth floor views out over the landscape and valley.

Experiência fantástica: Great art museum

Experiência positiva: Wonderful view of the campus, interesting collection, great exhibition space

Experiência fantástica: Limited parking, paid parking week days free weekends. The Johnson is a medium sized museum with a broad permanent collection as well as temporary exhibits. Plan an hour or two to take in the art. Perhaps the best feature of the museum is the 360 degree view from the 5th floor. It is spectacular in all seasons. We take out of town visitors here to wow them with views of the lake, downtown, Collegetown and the campus. Admission is free.

Experiência positiva: Wish I had more time exploring museum’s collections, but I was within 20 mins of closing time. Grateful to the stuff they still let me in. I have rushed to 5th floor to check out Cornell’s surroundings from wraparound galleries, gorgeous views of the lake and campus. The floor has beautiful collection of Asian art. Note that suspension bridge path over Horseshoe Falls starts almost next to museum. Hence, that’s where I headed after the museum. Review would have been 5 stars if museum closing times were at 5pm.

Experiência fantástica: Wonderful museum. Has many different art pieces from different eras, locations, and made out of different mediums. Free to see, but must pay to park. It takes about 2 hours to look, but if you read everything, obviously longer. There is an elevator to take you to different levels. Several employees standing around prepared to help.

Experiência fantástica: Incredible museum! The atmosphere is great, nice collection, changing exhibitions of mostly contemporary art, breathtaking view on the city of Ithaca from the top floor Free admission (The photo depicts the view from ground though)

Experiência fantástica: Such a great resource for Ithacans to see diverse art.

Experiência fantástica: Wish I had seen the installation at night. I enjoyed every exhibit and the incredible view from the top floor. Staff were attentive.

Experiência fantástica: Very cool museum. Perfect to spend 2-3 hours wandering into a wide range of global collection, mostly donated by alums. What’s more special is a spectacular panorama view of Cornell campus and surrounding, even the BB lake/creek if you go around the museum. The second floor has an outdoor lounge area where you can enjoy fantastic view, a breeze and a light project overhead which I think is one of the best spots on campus.

Experiência positiva: Perfectly decent (though not huge by any means) and engaging museum with some unique art and artifacts worth exploring. Hit or miss rotating exhibits, often with real gems. Worth the trip even for the unique architecture of the building, and some of the best views of Ithaca and Cayuga Lake available (from the upper floors) Free to the public.

Experiência fantástica: This I M Pei building is stunning. It's an active place to be enjoyed by all.

Experiência fantástica: We stopped here quick while on a college tour in order to enjoy the gorgeous views of Ithaca. Don't miss it! It's totally worth the stop.

Experiência fantástica: This museum is a great place to visit on the Cornell campus. There are not any options for parking at the museum, so it's best to take an Uber here. The museum is also free, so it's a cheap way to spend a free day. The upper level of the museum is where you start. There is a big window with the best views of the Ithaca town valley as well as good views of Cornell. The top floor is mostly dedicated to Asian art. My favorite pieces in this part of the museum are the samurai outfit and the black hole sculpture. The next level down they have Ancient artwork, with lots of classic European art pieces and the first ever tombstone. On the lower levels, the art pieces change more frequently. They have a piece that shows the layout of Cornells campus as a 3d model from a Birdseye view. There's also a 2nd building that's part of the art museum, but I didn't explore that area. You could definitely spend an hour at this museum.

Experiência positiva: Quite good, especially considering it's free. It would great if they had some impressionist works. At present, it seems they have a fairly comprehensive Asian and contemporary collection, but not much else.

Experiência positiva: Lovely museum on Cornell campus - definitely worth a visit that could last 30 min to couple of hours, all for free. The views on the top floor is fantastic and the exhibits are all interesting and engaging. Surrounding gardens are scenic for a nice stroll.

Experiência fantástica: Vary interesting place to visit if your at the Cornell University. Must stop and visit. Wheel chair accessible.

Experiência fantástica: Has a nice view of Ithaca on the 5th floor.

Experiência fantástica: Amazing experience. Collections from South and East Asia are pretty cool.

Experiência negativa: I drove over an hour, arrived and found no parking. After circling the area several times, I double parked and went in to inquire where I could park and was told there were 11 spots outside the entrance. Yes, I said 11 spots. I wasted an entire day because some idiot thought 11 parking spots was adequate for an art gallery at a major university.

Experiência fantástica: Fantastic collection that will introduce you to a variety of styles and periods, all for free. The museum itself is a stunning brutalist piece worth exploring and evaluating as an art piece itself.

Experiência fantástica: Absolute stunner of a museum. Don't miss while visiting the campus. The view from the 5th floor is also to die for in the fall.

Experiência fantástica: I enjoyed the museum very much! The works of art and history were amazing.

Experiência positiva: Not really sure of what to think about this place. There were a couple good exhibits but certainly older works. This newer stuff, to me, just seems so bizarre. I am more of a landscape or portrait lover than some sketchy naked lady pulling a long ribbon out of her vagege, making a mess to express her freedom of being a woman. I also don't get the abstract art but of course I am sure my mind isn't as expensive as "the Artist".

Experiência fantástica: Stopped by this art museum while visiting Cornell campus. It was a beautiful museum with friendly staff!

Experiência fantástica: Great collection of art and sculptures. The panoramic views of campus and surrounding areas are amazing! Cayuga finger lake also in view. Free to enter museum, $1.50 per hour to park at the museum. Get there at opening time 10am, limited parking spaces.

Experiência fantástica: Beautiful view and beautiful exhibits.

Experiência positiva: Very nice Brutalist building with lots of quiet rooms filled with a small but eclectic collection of art, from ancient to modern. The modern collection could have been better curated in my opinion, as they had some knockout pieces placed too far up for proper view.

Experiência fantástica: Fantastic museum! A wide variety of art across the centuries that can be viewed for free. The views are just as impressive as the building itself.

Experiência positiva: We didn't go inside. We went there just to see the view. The view is stunning, especially if you wait till sunset. The Kayuga lake isn't visible that much....you can see it from the left corner though.

Experiência fantástica: It is an exciting stroll through various art periods. Ming dynasty to 18th century European art to modern. Make it to the 4th floor and head outdoors to relax on the "laid back" bench and watch the lighted ceiling.

Experiência fantástica: Art museum located on Cornell's campus. Likely not populated during the year. 5 floors of great artwork, and some "artifacts", spanning different cultures. Lots of varied media that I assume is seasonal. Check out the "safely crossing..." Piece. That one was one of the best. Decent selection of contemporary art as well from current students and alumni. There is an elevator that's needed to access some floors. Also, there are plenty of bathrooms. It was busy when my brother and I went due to parents dropping off their students and sticking around to visit the museum. Not the most available parking nearby either, but parking at Cornell is **free on weekends**. Be prepared to walk... Maybe up some hills... If you are unable to park in the lot by the museum.

Experiência fantástica: Interesting small art museum.

Experiência positiva: Not bad for a university museum

Experiência positiva: Lots of great art in this free, college museum!

Experiência fantástica: Good art, and a great view of the Cornell area from the 5th floor

Experiência positiva: Really enjoyed our time here. It is quiet and everything is laid out very well. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Experiência fantástica: Excellent. Spectacular building with spectacular views. Good art collect6

Experiência fantástica: Great museum. Was there for a field trip and the kids loved it.

Experiência fantástica: Great learning opportunity for the kids in our daughter's class. Had so much fun on both visits!

Experiência fantástica: Amazing that admission is always free! They have some wonderful art, and the views are incredible

Experiência fantástica: The art you will see in here is not only the art exhibition, but the Cornell view itself from the top floor is also an art!

Experiência positiva: My wife and daughter liked the place, it wasn't really my cup of tea. The view of the area from the upper floors was amazing.

Experiência fantástica: So, so, cool :) beautiful art. I could sit out in the sculpture garden on the long bench all day. Loved it!

Experiência fantástica: Very interesting museum and on fifth floor you have the best view of the area .

Experiência fantástica: Wonderful addition to a beautiful campus. Very nice and quiet. Well maintained. only one bathroom on the bottom floor.

Experiência positiva: Good panoramic views of the city, lake n cornell u...n great collections of Asian art on the 5th floor...other floors have interesting displays too. Situated close to a suspension bridge of the falls creek trail too

Experiência fantástica: Amazing museum and wonderful views. Free admission is always a plus, and there are free lockers to store your belongings when you visit.

Experiência positiva: There were some nice pieces of art that my son and I enjoyed but they were in the process of setting up some new displays. I thought there was too much wall space that was not used but the building is absolutely beautiful.

Experiência fantástica: A truly sublime shrine to fine art. One of the best panaromic view of Cayuga Lake, also making this building a true architectural gem!

Experiência fantástica: Always a pleasure. Certainly worth visiting for the art, but don't miss the spectacular views from the upper floors. The building itself is a great example of modern architecture.

Experiência positiva: Wonderful views of Cayuga Lake, Ithaca and Cornell from the 5th floor. We started on the top floor to see the views. We wanted to take the elevator down one level at a time to look at the art on display. Unfortunately, the elevator wouldn't stop at any other floor except all the way back on the ground level. What we did see was nice.

Experiência fantástica: I. M. Pei design. Gorgeous views from 5th floor.

Experiência positiva: Went to see the architecturally significant building by IM Pei but was pleasantly surprised to see some of the exhibitions from Asia and Pliny on display. A sizable museum for a university. Luckily it was not crowded when I entered but that may not be the case as we've learnt.

Experiência fantástica: Great museum building with a wonderful collection and dedicated staff. The layout is a bit confusing at first but definitely serves to keep the mind alert and promote "original awareness" regarding the collection. It's as though a beautiful work pops out around random corners. Definitely recommend and wort a visit. Entrance is gratis.

Experiência fantástica: This museum is honestly incredible. Several floors of art from all time periods across numerous cultures. They have some permanent exhibits as well as changing ones which is nice because it keeps things fresh. I found my visit here interesting, educational, and thought provoking. Plus admission here is free!? Very high quality museum, cannot believe it's free to visit. Highly recommend

Experiência fantástica: Wonderful museum. Some art is not for children, but we are all adults here. (Really though, watch what your kids are looking at.)

Experiência fantástica: Beautiful place! Loved and enjoyed artworks with a nice view.

Experiência positiva: As I understand it, much controversy ensued before this structure was erected. The name is unfortunate since it bears a resemblance, as some view it, to a large chair or throne. It does have a curious way of framing the landscape. (Photo: Cornell University)

Experiência fantástica: Very nice art museum. Older and recent pieces. Video art, sculptures, paintings, prints.

Experiência fantástica: Beautiful museum high on a hill overlooking Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. Great collections in a spacious and well lit environment.

Experiência positiva: This is a smaller art museum but pleasant to walk through. Lovely views from the top floor. There is limited parking at the metered spots outside, maybe 12 spots, but there is good turnover because the gallery is not large.

Experiência fantástica: Wow! What an incredible museum. Got to see an Alexander Calder mobile! The architecture and layout of the space is quite interesting on its own, nevermind the great selection of contemporary and historical work on display.

Experiência fantástica: A very beautiful area with in Cornell University District. Free to visit. Just small parking fee required. Not busy with my visit time. 10:30am. Week day. Sunlight from outside was beautiful. And my favorite was the 5th floor.

Experiência positiva: The Johnson Museum was a nice stop. The art pieces were great and loved the exhibits on display. Admission was also free at this time with donations welcomed.

Experiência fantástica: A neat little museum where you can easily sink couple of hours in. The view on the terrace and the 4th floor is amazing, and the exhibitions are culturally diverse and ranged from ancient to modern. The terrace is a great place to chill and can be quite cool during a hot summer day. Would recommend, just remember to put your backpack at the reception before going into the museum.

Experiência fantástica: Exceptional collection with breathtaking views. Staff was courteous and accommodating.

Experiência fantástica: Espantoso! Há uma quantidade espantosa de arte para apreciar. As obras de arte egípcia, asiática e do sul da Ásia foram as minhas preferidas. As vistas do 5º andar são de cortar a respiração. De facto. Além disso, a entrada é gratuita.

Experiência fantástica: Just amazing! The view and building is just so beautiful that we don't even have paid attention on the arts.

Experiência fantástica: My first time here, this was an EXCELLENT museum. Spanning hundreds of years, there are five floors of outstanding art, including a VanGogh! There's something here for anyone's taste in art, from traditional oils of the 1700s to ancient works to modern day. Some sculpture, glasswork, lithography... This is a must see when visiting Ithaca, put it on your list.

Experiência fantástica: Go to the fifth floor for the view of the city of Ithaca and Cayuga lake. Wonderful scenes!

Experiência fantástica: Beside of art collection for exhibition, this building is an art as is.

Experiência fantástica: Nice architecture and there is an expansion wing, connected at basement

Experiência fantástica: I loved seeing I M Pei's architecture and experiencing the play between nature and art.

Experiência positiva: View from the top alone was worth the stop. Nice little museum.

Experiência fantástica: Fascinating small art museum in a beautiful building and setting. Parking right outside the door.

Experiência fantástica: Beautiful collections of art gifted from around the world. Outstanding views of the campus and Lake Cayuga from the upper floors.

Experiência fantástica: Beautiful museum No fee but parking is paid for and can be hard to find

Experiência fantástica: Amazing art, just walk in free. The Powering Exchange exhibit is fantastic.

Experiência negativa: I honestly don't know what upset me more about being here. The Roman bust on the 5th floor from 150 AD in the "hallway" next to the elevator without any case or the warped oil on wooden panel paintings (yes, paintings, there were three that we counted) on the same floor due to inconsistent temperature and too much moisture. There was a lawsuit in 2015 where Cornell sued the architect for the museum design, but LEFT (or worse? MOVED?) the paintings on a floor of the building clearly not safe to hold paintings for a long period of time (two separate sets of transparent doors (no vestibules) leading to a terrace and allowing the sun to shine directly on paintings). Not to mention I was up there for a good hour and didn't see one guard. This was a huge takeaway from my experience. Some small things that could be considered personal preference that annoyed me included: the organization of the basement was so confusing (rainbow lights next to an old suit of armor and reflecting off every case in that gallery) and the clear preference for contemporary art while seemingly hiding all other art on the stepchild fifth floor that doesn't fit this category. I came here with a love of art expecting the same from an institution that claims the same only to see what I could only describe as a neglect. Can you believe Cornell actually has an art conservation program? Have the faculty ever been to the museum? What makes this awful is there are beautiful paintings and sculptures there that deserve to be treated better, seen by more people, and live a longer life than they will at this museum. If Cornell does not value this art, then transfer custodianship of it to another institution that will apply proper conservation practices.

Experiência fantástica: Absolutely museum that is a must visit in my opinion. Easily spend 1-2 hours here. It’s not a huge museum but the artifacts here are very meticulously compiled with a high variety from all around the world from various historical periods. Would not hesitate to give it 6 stars if I could.

Experiência fantástica: A small museum that has a great condition of arts from Asia to modern arts.

Experiência fantástica: Free museum. A lot of rare items. Numismatic collection is my favorite

Experiência fantástica: Free admission, interesting collections, interesting building and great 5th floor views.

Experiência fantástica: Trouxe a minha namorada aqui e tive uma experiência fantástica. Gostei muito do facto de ser gratuito e baseado em donativos. Há muitos estilos de arte diferentes para ver e pode passar-se muito tempo aqui. A arquitetura do edifício em si é muito bonita e gostaria de voltar no verão, quando o jardim de esculturas ao ar livre estiver aberto. Os funcionários são prestáveis e simpáticos. A melhor parte, na minha opinião, é a vista absolutamente fenomenal do último andar (5º). É essencialmente uma torre de observação de 360 graus que lhe permite ver uma bela vista de tudo, incluindo o Lago Cayuga, a Universidade de Cornell, o Colégio de Ithaca, a cidade de Ithaca e muito mais! Só gostava que houvesse mais estacionamento para os hóspedes. Obviamente, este não é um pedido fácil, mas claramente não há lugares de estacionamento suficientes para todos os hóspedes que visitam.

Experiência fantástica: I love this museum so much, to the point where I go here every couple months or so. The exhibits never get old, and the areal view of Ithaca on the top floor is gorgeous. The light show is quite stunning as well. My favorite part is probably downstairs which has all sorts of ancient artifacts from Japan. The museum as a whole makes for a memorable experience.

Experiência fantástica: Very nice museum. As the cherry on top, the views of the college campus and surrounding landscape from the large windows in the top floor are spectacular!

Experiência fantástica: I have visited several times over the years when I was on campus with 4-Hers and sometimes during on campus sessions. Staff is polite and knowledgeable. Collections rotate, so be sure to check ahead if there is something you want to see. Works are from worldwide artists and cultures and not all fit what be considered art by most. The various collections extend throughout the genres.

Experiência positiva: Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

Experiência fantástica: Amazing.

Experiência positiva: I enjoyed this museum, lot of different things to see, a lot of variety. Some very interesting media of all different genres. Plus its free!!! There are only a few parking spaces though for the museum. What I did not enjoy was when my girlfriend and I left and we walked back to our car across the road this 12-year-old frat guy came up to us and said yes we’ve called the tow truck and the cops and they’re about to come and tow your car because you parked in our fraternity parking lot. He said since you’re here now you can already leave but just don’t ever park here again. I’m really glad i had the permission of this 13-year-old to leave in my own car. There were no signs anywhere that said no parking the only sign I saw that said no parking was when I was on the way out there was a sign that said you can’t park here you will be towed there was no other sign anywhere. there were many many parking spaces there. It would be completely different if there was a sign when you entered that said no parking fraternity parking only but there wasn’t there was nothing We were literally in the museum 40 minutes. Luckily we didn’t stay any longer or I would’ve gotten towed This just cemented my belief that fraternities are full of the worst. They were a bunch of frat kids inside looking out of the window this was the most exciting part of their day that they were going to get to tow my car even though they were empty spaces all around my car they didn’t have anything better to do but obsess about my car

Experiência fantástica: Wonderfully diverse collection housed in an I. M. Pei landmark museum, nestled in the heart of Cornell University's gorgeous Ithaca campus. Also free admission, helpful staff and breathtaking views!

Experiência fantástica: This place makes me feel so happy! I am from NYC and desperate for culture here in Ithaca. When I discovered the Johnson, my heart was thrilled. The art that is housed at the Johnson is so impressive. And the building, designed by IM Pei, is art itself! This is a must see if you are visiting Ithaca!

Experiência fantástica: Awesome collection of art from all over the globe! Loved the laid back atmosphere and helpful staff! Enjoyable way to spend the day right in the Cornell campus!

Experiência fantástica: This is such a unique museum. It’s small but for a small town it’s really big! For me it’s the perfect size, it’s small enough to see lots of stuff without getting bored they also have some really unique and impactful art pieces. Also, for one of my classes we went to the very top for this presentation and it was a BEAUTIFUL view. If you could get an event there it’s perfect. They also have the star sky exhibit thing where you can definitley have events.

Experiência fantástica: Great place for everyone. And it's free.

Experiência fantástica: Wow how much it has changed 20 +. Years when I worked there when was a guard. There.
