6. Nassau County Museum of Art

ROSLYN HARBOR.   A must-see for Long Island vacationers, this beautiful museum campus ranges across some 140 acres and includes an 18th-century Georgian mansion that belonged to William Cullen Bryant and, later, the son of US Steel co-founder, Henry Clay Frick. The museum's priceless permanent collection features more than 600 pieces of American and European art, including works by Roy Lichtenstein, Auguste Rodin, and Irving Ramsey Wiles. Also noteworthy are the formal gardens, sculpture gardens, and Tee Ridder Miniature Museum, whose diminutive items hail from all over the world. Call ahead, as museum closes several weeks each season.   (© 10Best)
