Housed inside a Greek-Revival mansion that was built in the early 1830s, the Arnot Art Museum was established in 1913 when Matthias Hallenback Arnot bequeathed his private home and art collection to the city. The museum is an excellent example of a private 19th-century art gallery that still houses its original art, but the collection has also been expanded over the years, and it now boasts 19th and 20th century American art, European paintings from between the 17th and 19th centuries, and Egyptian and Asian artifacts. Visitors are welcome Tuesday through Saturday, and educational tours are available by appointment.
