Buildings of Interest

Albright-Knox Art Gallery
1285 Elmwood Avenue

The Albright-Knox Art Gallery enjoys a worldwide reputation as an outstanding center of modern art. Thomas Hoving, art historian and former director of the MOMA, New York, recently said that "the Albright-Knox Art Gallery should be on everyone's list to see, for it's an overwhelming art experience. Small, intimate, and seductive, the museum has one of the most thumping modern and contemporary collections in the world."

The building was intended to serve first as the Fine Arts Pavilion of the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, but was completed too late for that purpose in 1905.

Comprehensive series of parks and parkways that pioneered the concept of the metropolitan recreational system.
