Really beautiful small museum. The light show on the roof of the deck is awesome, though I'm not sure what time of year to visit so they're open to view it after dark (which I think was the artist's intent).
Wonderful collection all around, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great little art museum on Cornell's campus, super for a rainy day excursion if you are in Ithaca.
