The Canajoharie Library’s Art Gallery has been transformed into an outstanding museum with expanded exhibition and program spaces. Exhibitions now feature the Arkell Museum’s remarkable collection along with exhibitions of works from other notable collections.

Our American painting collection includes 21 works by Winslow Homer, and significant paintings by many distinguished artists, including George Inness, William M. Chase, Childe Hassam, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Henri, and other members of The Eight. Permanent and changing exhibitions also feature selections from the museum’s Mohawk Valley History collection as well as the Beech-Nut archives of early twentieth-century advertising material.
