The Everson Museum of Art is located downtown Syracuse, new York. This museum is noteworthy both inside and outside. Renowned architect I.M. Pei—who went on to design the National Gallery in Washington DC and the addition to the Louvre—designed the building, his first museum. Since its debut in 1968, the Everson has become internationally respected for its extensive and excellent ceramics collection. The other major focus is 19th and 20th century American art, including works by such luminaries as Jackson Pollock and Andrew Wyeth.
