DOWNTOWN. Housed in Corning's former city hall, this wonderful museum riffs on the collection of American West and Native American artwork that local entrepreneurs Bob and Hertha Rockwell acquired. In a visually stunning space, the artwork is no less impressive. Its subject matter includes cowboys, Indians, landscapes, buffalo, and horses ­ the stuff of Western lore. Educational facilities are available, and children are welcomed and accommodated. There's also a gift shop.

ELMIRA. Housed in an early 19th-century mansion, this museum continues the collections of Matthias Arnot, who initially acquired European paintings dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. They're supplemented today by American pieces from the 19th century, and items representing Egypt, Asia, and pre-Columbian America. The museum, open since 1913, also features traveling exhibits, educational programs, and more. Its focus is on representational works. Especially notable is Arnot's picture gallery, set with its original assemblage of art.
