The Nassau County Museum of Art is a not-for-profit art institution situated on 145 acres of County owned, federally protected parkland and operated by an independent Board of Trustees.

The Nassau County Museum of Art has taken advantage of the rolling hills and lush meadows that surround our building. Over thirty monumental outdoor sculptures have been sensitively sited throughout our acreage and can be viewed daily throughout the year. Most artworks are on long term loan ranging from a minimum of three years to the indefinite.

Currently, artworks are on display by Fernando Botero, Mark DiSuvero, Tony Smith, Chaim Gross, Marino Marini, August Rodin, Reuben Nakian, Fernand Leger and Adolph Gottlieb to name a few. Lenders to our collection include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, Artists and their representative galleries, Private Collectors and the Collection of the Nassau County Museum of Art.

The Nassau County Museum of Art facility features a circa 1900 Georgian mansion that houses the Museum galleries; The Tee Ridder Miniatures Museum - a separate space devoted to the display of miniature furnished period rooms; an Educational Center - a studio space where art instruction is offered for a variety of media and skill levels as well as Formal Gardens designed by Marion Cruger Coffin in the early 20th century that are now undergoing restoration. The Nassau County Museum of art presents four to six major exhibitions annually, often including outdoor sculpture within the exhibition theme.
