Vacation Day Three - Rockwell Museum of Western Art

The Corning tour bus picks people up at a "Welcome Center" where there is plenty of free parking. It then stops at the Corning Museum of Glass, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art, the downtown market district, and then completes the loop.

Today we started out with the Rockwell Museum. It has three floors of well laid-out exhibits. It holds mostly art about the West, and not so much Native American art. (No flash photography allowed...)






This painting was massive. It was amazing that the artist could visualize what the whole thing would look like, when he was standing a couple of feet away to paint it:



One floor had contemporary art.



Here are some of our favorites:
