Even people unfamiliar with Buffalo attribute a couple of things to our fare city. "It's near Niagara Falls...Annie Defranco is from there, right...oh yeah,you have the Albright-Knox..." And with its new endowment, the ABK is set to expand and become even more important.
The Albright-Knox is our treasure full of treasures. The Beaux Arts building itself, built at the turn of the twentieth century, is the product of two seminal architectural and artistic giants, E.B Green and Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The interior, of course, is home to one of the most spectacular and eclectic collections of artwork in the  country.  From Jacques-Louis David to Louise Bourgeois, the expanse is extraordinary and representational of the great artistic movements of the last two hundred years. Van Gogh, Picasso, Homer, Still, Renior, Pollock, Warhol, Modigliani, Miro are some of the heavy hitters, but the gallery is also home to carefully aquired esoteric masterpieces as well. Take a few hours to explore and find solace amongst some of the world's great art treasures at your doorstep.
