When I visited, a temperature check and mask were still needed by visitors. The artwork and sculptures depicting scenes of the Old West were very well done. The commentary on Frederic Remington's sculpture "The Rattlesnake" was quite thought-provoking. Definitely worth a visit when in Corning.

Cool; buffalo running through a wall in the Rockwell Museum.
[Ida, 09/17/2016]The buffalo, named "Artemus" ("art is a must"), was installed by local sculptor Tom Gardner in 1999. The Rockwell is an art museum.
