The Memorial Art Gallery University of Rochester is just 1 block from the Strathallan Rochester hotel and offers guests an extraordinary collection of exhibits.

The Memorial Art Gallery was founded in 1913 by Emily Sibley Watson as a memorial to her son, architect James Averell – it was given in trust to the University of Rochester and now serves as a community art museum.

Come experience more than 5,000 years of art history at the Memorial Art Gallery.  Journey through relics of antiquity to works in the vanguard of contemporary movements. The Gallery has more than 12,000 objects in its permanent collection and has been called the best balanced in the state outside of metropolitan New York City. The Gallery also offers a year-round schedule of temporary exhibitions, lectures, concerts, tours and family activities.

Visitors will be amazed as they visit Fountain Court as it is home to an Italian Baroque organ on display courtesy of the Eastman School of Music. Concerts and recitals are periodically scheduled on this magnificent instrument. Fountain Court is adorned with the work of period artists.
