Long Island Pulse: A Memorable Day of Art, Close to Home

Many of Long Island's universities have a hidden perk: a stellar art museum. Despite high-quality works, elegant environments and proximity, local residents oftentimes forget they're here, or don't realize these cultural gems exist at all. Those who want to spend an afternoon exploring inspiring works of art don't need to spend the time nor the money trekking into the city. Check out a few of the most noteworthy Long Island college art museums on higher education campuses throughout Nassau and Suffolk. They're all open to the public—and free.
