Reading about art is one thing, but seeing it for yourself takes the experience of art appreciation to a whole new level. That is the mission of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.

Also, there are works from iconic artists like Picasso, Renoir, Matisse and Van Gough that are among the many highlights that you'll see in this world-class art venue.

One of the great things about playing the kazoo is that your enthusiasm for creating music is more important than the actual amount of talent you possess. Maybe that's why everyone who visits the Original American Kazoo Company Museum can't help but smile widely as they tour the facility to see how the instrument is actually made. This is the only original metal kazoo factory in the world, and not only can you watch the kazoos being constructed but you actually have an opportunity to make your own. Plus, don't miss the incredibly fun selection of kazoos in all sizes and colors as well as other fun items available in the gift shop.
