Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art

 

The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art is located on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York. It houses Cornell’s art collection, which was begun in the 1880s by Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White.

In 1973, the Museum moved into its present building, designed by I. M. Pei; it is a small masterpiece, with stunning views of Cayuga Lake, the campus, and Ithaca.

Herbert F. Johnson, a graduate of Cornell’s Class of 1922, was chairman of S. C. Johnson & Sons of Racine, Wisconsin, and a lifelong enthusiast of art and great architecture.
