Terrific local history museum. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Housed in a former bank that is fascinating on it's own. Sad to see how much important industry closed down in 70s and 80s, leaving an enormous economic gap in the city. Never knew the toll that Hurricane Agnes took on the town. Give yourself at least an hour to see the exhibits. Admission is very reasonable.

The Arnot Art Museum is a landmark jewel of the art world in downtown Elmira, New York. Housed in the 1833 neo-classical Arnot family mansion, it is one of the last remaining private art collections formed in the 19th century still exhibited in its original showcase. Temporary exhibitions highlight various aspects of the collections and include works from museums around the world.

This small museum, housed in a renovated Greek Revival home, contains one of the few private collections left intact in its original setting. The first curator and home owner was Mattias Arnot, the founder of the museum. His 70+ pieces of 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century European paintings of world-class art is displayed in a drawing room in a salon style not normally seen in art museums. There is a galley of artists from the Hudson River School. Another small gallery contains early Egyptian antiquities including scarab beetles, ushabtis, cuneiform tablets and a life size xray of a mummy. Other changing exhibit galleries hold representational and contemporary art which I found intriguing and different. For a museum this size, it holds its own. Admission is a value and there is free parking in the back of the museum.

I was skeptical about having dinner in a bar. The food was exceptionally good, served piping hot, and the wings were top notch! Definitely order double dipped and dirty. I will be coming here often! Our table had wings, chicken spiedie, cheese steak, and burgers. Everyone left full and satisfied!
