Binghamton, New York Museums
- Bundy Arts & Victorian Museum.
- Discovery Center of the Southern Tier. "The mission of The Discovery Center of the Southern Tier is to develop the intellectual, physical and emotional well-being of the children of the Southern Tier through participatory exhibits and programs.
These exhibits engage the senses, challenge the mind and offer a diverse framework for discovery in the arts, sciences and humanities."
- Phelps Mansion Museum. "We welcome and invite you to the Phelps Mansion Museum built in 1870 for Sherman D. Phelps, a local Binghamton businessman, by architect, Isaac G. Perry. The "Gem" at 191 Court Street, now a historic house museum, is an exceptional example of the outstanding ability of Perry to coordinate into the design, beautiful rare woods, metal, and glass in the interior of the house. A beautiful Baccarat crystal chandelier from 1890 adorns the ballroom while rare chandeliers in other rooms are reminiscent of the Victorian period. Viewing the outside of the Museum, the mansard roof and cresting as well as the iron fence highlight the exterior of the museum.
Declared a national historic landmark in 1973, it was placed on the National Register of Historic American Buildings. In 2005 we received a provisional charter from the Board of Regents as a New York State museum."
- Roberson Museum and Science Center. "Roberson Memorial, Inc. was established by the will of Alonzo Roberson in 1934 to create an “educational center …for the use and benefit of all people.” The Roberson Memorial Center (as first called) opened to the public in 1954 in the Roberson Mansion. At that time, the Binghamton Museum of Fine Arts transferred its collections to Roberson. An addition in 1966 provided galleries, a theatre, the Link Planetarium, and offices. The A. Ward Ford wing, added in 1984, houses modern vaults and collections preparation space, and now holds the Decker Life Science Center. Roberson became accredited under the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) in the 1980’s."
