#### Discover art and historical artifacts from the Hudson Valley Region at one of New York’s oldest museums, located in the heart of downtown Albany.

Art and history of the Hudson Valley Region converge at Albany Institute of History and Art. Founded in 1791, it is one of the oldest museums in the United States. Browse through its vast exhibits to learn about the region’s heritage from the 17th century to the present day.

Albany Institute of History and Art is world-renowned for its collection of Hudson River school paintings. The Hudson River School is a group of landscape painters who were based in New York’s Hudson River Valley between 1825 and 1875\. See paintings by leading artists from this movement, such as Frederic Church, Thomas Cole and brothers James and William Hart.

Tour the institute’s other permanent exhibits. In the Jabbur Gallery, discover the story of Albany's 3,000-year-old mummy, Ankhefenmut. Browse the museum’s collection of 19th-century plaster, marble and bronze sculptures in the Sculpture Court. See fashion spanning two centuries, from extravagant wedding gowns to everyday walking suits. Check out a variety of glassware, including locally made pieces by Albany Glass Works. Trace colonial Albany’s early roots through furniture, ceramics, textiles and other objects.

Come to the museum multiple times for something new on each visit. The institute regularly curates exhibits around pieces in its vast collections. Whether the focus is on a specific artist, period or theme, each temporary exhibit brings a fresh experience for visitors.

Stop at the museum shop on the second floor to get a souvenir from your visit. Browse through items from the collections and the works of local artisans. Next door, get a snack or a beverage in the café.

Could use some updating Keurig coffee pot was finicky. Couldn’t get it to work some days. The water reservoir did not look clean little rusted areas in there. The creamer was spoiled. I had some issues with water dripping from the bottom of the little refrigerator areas inside were wet and you could tell they have been damaged by water in the past. I did have some plumbing issues with my tub took a shower. The water was up to my ankles, and the bottom of the tub just was not secured to whatever is underneath there. However, I did express that concern and maintenance took care of it. Overall served the purpose. It was quiet. It was nice to have the restaurant and bar downstairs. I do feel like it needs some updating and could be cleaner the rugs look like they need to be shampooed. They don’t look like they even get vacuumed. I thought it was removed, it’s just is an older hotel. I’m assuming. yes but before the price I expected a little bit more.
