Albany Institute of History and Art

We printed off a pass from our library and visited this afternoon. The scavenger hunt through the dioramas was really fun. The Egypt exhibit was small but quality. I enjoyed the sculptures and the paintings, but the second floor was under construction for the next exhibit.

Such a gem. Every single time I walk into the Hudson River School room, I am thankful to live in this region. Not to mention the fabulous temporary exhibits the AIHA always has. ❤️

Surprising! Went for a class trip. I don't know why Albany doesn't publicize gems like this. Well curated collection. One of the oldest museums in the country. Wonderful programming for class trip.

The staff were really nice. They had a great set of exhibits but there some typos in the descriptions. The art was beautiful. We were so pleased that we got to see an Egyptian exhibit here in Albany!

this place was such an unexpected gem. Do not skip it. If you’re in the area or if you live in the area and you haven’t been grab a friend take your kids and go. It was such a wonderful place. They have an exhibition currently going on I want to say through April 12 I could be wrong but it’s on the current events and social justice warriors, environmentalist, many others, educators, civil servants… and has little bio pics and I absolutely adore that exhibit. There were several other exhibits that were amazing. I honestly can’t say enough. The work of these artists, the details! It’s amazing…. The gift shop looked amazing too. Wow.
