Culture on Elmwood

 
 
The cultural backbone of Buffalo, Elmwood Avenue stands as testament to a rich artistic heritage that never fails to delight and surprise.

At the center of it all is the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, a breathtaking collection of masterworks by such 19th and 20th century luminaries as Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, William deKooning, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. A must see on any trip to Buffalo, the Albright-Knox counts among its ardent admirers scholars, critics, artists and lay-audiences from all over the world, who rank its magnificent collection among the very best.

Currently, the Albright-Know is hosting

Directly across the street, make sure to visit the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, home to the definitive collection of paintings by the famed Buffalo watercolorist Charles Burchfield. Here you'll also find other outstanding collections, including craft art and the USEUM, a hands-on gallery for kids of all ages, as well as rotating exhibits focusing on such topics as the Roycroft movement.
