 National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts - Museums - Visitors Guide - New York
Formerly known as the National Academy of Design, this modest museum is overshadowed by its Upper East Side neighbors and falls a tad short in comparison to its Museum Mile competition.
The academy showcases 19th- and 20th-century American art, but the collection isn’t as breathtaking as the 20th-century works featured at the Whitney, and although it’s located in a mansion that was the home of Archer Milton Huntington and his sculptor wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington, the building isn't as large or impressive as the Frick.
And then there’s the prestige of the art: Members of the National Academy Museum (who are elected by their peers), each contribute a representative piece to the collection, so the academy has amassed works from notables such as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Frank Lloyd Wright and Jasper Johns.

Despite the contemporary complaint of imitation of his friend and mentor, Thomas Cole, Durand demonstrates a remarkable degree of independence in that he has made such didacticism subservient to the overall pastoral theme of the idealized composite landscape.
By 1846, when Inness registered in the Academy school, his name could be annotated "landscape painter," an indication that he already had attained professional status.
