Nassau County Museum of Art Revenue and Competitors

Ranked among the nation’s largest, most important suburban art museums, Nassau County Museum of Art (NCMA) is located 20 miles east of New York City in Roslyn Harbor, Long Island on the former Frick Estate--a spectacular 145-acre property in the heart of Long Island’s fabled Gold Coast. The main museum, named in honor of art collectors and philanthropists Arnold & Joan Saltzman, is a three-story Georgian mansion that exemplifies architecture of the late 19th century. The museum’s main galleries host an ambitious schedule of major exhibitions, including European and American art movements from the 19th century to the present. The main building's Contemporary Gallery showcases work by some of today’s most intriguing visual artists. The museum's magnificent 145-acre property includes restored Formal Gardens and restored trellis, quiet spots to contemplate the lushly planted gardens, examples of rare tree specimens, marked walking trails and monumental outdoor sculpture sited throughout the property in one of the largest publicly accessible sculpture parks in the Northeast. Once administered by Nassau County’s Office of Cultural Development, NCMA became a private not-for-profit institution in 1989 and is governed and funded by a private board of trustees which includes many of Long Island’s most prominent business, civic and social leaders. The museum is chartered and accredited under the laws of New York State as a not-for-profit private educational institution and museum.
