Buffalo, NY – The Albright-Knox Art Gallery has launched a redesigned website containing many new features at www.albrightknox.org. The site was designed and developed by Emmy award–winning digital agency Bluecadet under the management of the museum’s Publications department.

A focal point of the new website is the Search the Collection section, which enables users to search for artworks in the Albright-Knox’s collection by artist, title, object type, date range, and more. Site visitors can also see which works are on view, collection highlights, and recent acquisitions. The site provides basic information about each artwork and a large image for most works. Where copyright allows, users can enlarge and download images for personal and educational uses. This section of the website was made possible, in part, due to funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Additional new features include a Plan Your Visit page that allows visitors to see what events and exhibitions are happening on any given day; a Find an Event page that lets visitors browse upcoming events, or search by date, type, audience, and keyword; and a Learn & Discover section that guides visitors to explore the museum’s offerings by audience—adults, educators, kids and families, Members, researchers, teens, and visitors with disabilities.

Users can also learn more about the AK360 campus expansion, current and upcoming exhibitions, membership offerings, ongoing programs, public art projects, and much more.
