The Arkell Museum | Canajoharie, New York

The Arkell Museum at Canajoharie has just reopened in a new building, with exhibitions on American art and Mohawk Valley history. Visitors to the museum will discover paintings by American artists such as Winslow Homer, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Maurice Prendergast, and Georgia O’Keeffe on display in the galleries. Examples of Beech-Nut advertising are also featured in new exhibitions, and we have scheduled a variety of exciting programs and events that are open to the public. The Arkell Museum is located halfway between Albany and Utica — just three blocks from Exit 29 on the New York State Thruway (I-90).

Now Showing at the Museum...

This fascinating exhibition of portraits by some of America’s best known artists from the 18th through the early 20th century is selected from the Arkell Museum’s permanent collection. The subject of these paintings range from America’s first president painted by Gilbert Stuart to an introspective portrait by Thomas Eakins and a beautiful woman painted by John Singer Sargent.
