DOWNTOWN. Set in a turn-of-the-century dry goods store, this museum offers four floors of exhibits detailing everything from dinosaurs to space travel. What began as a small institution about local history has now evolved into a much-celebrated facility that's even assisted by NASA. Other hands-on displays relished by young visitors are a village play area, an Iroquois longhouse, weather programs, animal and insect activities, an airplane, and outdoor train exhibits. A great educational destination.

DOWNTOWN. Boasting one of central New York's most prestigious art collections, MWPAI evolved from holdings of the Williams and Proctor families. It's come a long way since then and now offers a permanent collection of more than 25,000 items. Exhibits are displayed in both a Philip Johnson-designed building and a renovated mansion dating to the mid-19th-century. Collections are heavy in American and European works from the 18th to 20th centuries and Victorian decorative arts. Temporary exhibits are also frequent.
