National Academy

Museum in The Upper East Side area

The Academy houses one of the largest public American art collections in the country containing works from the nineteenth century to the present.

The fundamental mission of the Academy has never changed-the annual exhibitions have been held every year since 1826; the School of Fine Arts has functioned almost without interruption since that date; and, in recognition of the ever-changing character of American art, over 2,000 artists have been honored with election.
