The Everson is a museum of firsts. The Everson is the first museum to dedicate itself to the collection of American art, to create a permanent collection of ceramics, to collect video art, to create a docent program and to hire the now internationally-known architect I.M. Pei to design its building, a sculptural work of art in its own right. The Everson is home to approximately 11,000 works of art: American paintings, sculpture, drawings, video, graphics and one of the largest holdings of international ceramics in the nation. The Everson Museum of Art is located on Harrison Street, in the heart of downtown Syracuse, New York, right across from the OnCenter. We invite you to visit the Everson Museum of Art and celebrate the arts in Central New York. 315-474-6404
