Burchfield Penney Art Center
A museum dedicated to art from the Buffalo–Niagara region, holding the largest number of works by watercolor master Charles Burchfield.
The art center is part of SUNY Buffalo State and sits across from the AKG Art Museum. The new building, completed in 2008, has a wavy façade of zinc panels and glass. Its core collection consists of works by American watercolorist Charles Burchfield, known for his mysterious, rhythmic natural landscapes. It also displays works by artists from Western New York and Arts and Crafts movement (Roycroft) pieces. It is a good idea to visit on the same day as the AKG Art Museum. Tickets are required, and it is usually closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Closed Mondays; approx. 10:00–17:00
