    It is a nice well maintained minimalist art museum. All of the art in the museum are by Italian artists. The art itself somehow similar to Dia Beacon where it doesn't make sense until you read the explanation. To maintain the minimalist aesthetics there are no descriptions next to the art and you have to download their mobile guide. They have several galleries and if you walk around the premises you will find some cute donkeys. It is a bit random though seeing them. They have clean restroom inside the museum and outside near parking lot. We like the outside restroom where it is quiet, cool and you can sit before deciding where to go next. It is pay as you wish and fully air conditioned, a good choice to spend time and learn during one hot summer day.

    Great place to visit for some cool art exhibits. No admission fee, but donations go towards childrens hospitals in need. Going from left to right clockwise, you will see some really cool art and some weird ones, but theres something for everyone no matter what kind of tastes or style you like. The gallery is very clean and modern, yet sophisticated and chic. The place is well designed, even the bathroom looks so neat and modern (had to take a pic). There is parking if you are driving, but there is also a free shuttle bus from the train station.

    A gem of a museum in the Hudson valley. The exhibits capture a turbulent time in modern Italian history and there's a nice range of mediums from sculptures and neon installations to paintings and photographs. The surrounding nature frames the space so well and the glimpses of the trees and skies as you make your way through the museum are incredible. They have a special system for Covid times - you come at a pre-reserved time, get a temperature check, and a proximity sensor you wear which will beep if you come to close to someone else not in your party. Admission is free but donations are welcomed. There are bathrooms inside, but at the start, so you can't return to them after you pass. However, there are also bathrooms outside available for access.

    Lovely grounds overlooking Constitution Marsh & Island, the Hudson, and West Point on the far…read moreshore. and main building. I'm sure they host weddings on the front lawn. The main building was actually relocated to this site from further south and has a rich history of the initial construction, gradual decay, disassembly, resurrection, catastrophic damage, and aggressive renovation. The main plaster/cement ceiling in the upstairs library actually crashed down one evening a few years ago and damaged much of the home with plaster dust. Fortunately, charitable contributions have helped to restore most of the site as a 2026, except for vintage-era wallpaper and some furniture. We were fortunate to visit after a winter of intensive renovation, which allowed us to get a much better sense of the home. Displays in the adjacent visitor's center and grounds provide some interesting history, but you should really time your arrival to take a tour led by one of the volunteer docents. It is a beautiful home, which I would give 5-stars to if renovations were complete.

    My friend and I were in the area on a cold Saturday and decided to take a tour. We were the only…read moreone braving the cold. Our tour guide Carol was excellent! She was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was so thorough in explaining the history of the house and how it go where it is now. We didn't get the experience the gardens since there was snow but I will be back in the warmer weather to see the grounds. The view of the Hudson was gorgeous!

    I don't think I understand modern art, yet I spend hours here every visit…read more I usually prefer to wonder alone but sometimes tours are nice because then I can talk to others who also enjoy but don't understand the exhibits either.

    Beacon, NY - virtually every person I've brought to DIA has had the exact same reaction of "WTF is…read morethis?" when they glance upon the pile of dirt, roomful of garbage, or giant monochromatic canvas, and throw up their hands in irritation and bewilderment. It's part of the fun (at least everything's a conversation piece, as you argue what is the point/meaning of this), but I appreciate the BS check called out by my philistine friends and husband who are unmoved by the academic hoo-ha that I, a pretentious art twat fed a steady diet of "theory & criticism" at university, so love to make a cerebral meal out of. Conceptual and contemporary art aren't everyone's cup of tea, but you don't have to understand or even appreciate art to bask in this massive gallery of space, light, airiness, minimalist beauty, and contemplation. To walk through these open spaces is meditation. And if you stay into the afternoon, the light is spectacular. Plus, like in any art museum, it's always fun to check out the hip international street fashion people are sporting. In addition to the changing exhibitions and installations showcasing both established voices and next-gen up-and-comers, DIA boasts works of magnificent scale by the likes of Richard Serra, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Gerhardt Richter, etc. in its permanent or longterm collection that to me is worth the price of admission alone. The collection highlights works by many important artists of the 60s & 70s, the era in which DIA was founded to help artists achieve visionary projects that were ambitious in size or scope. The basement level always has cool special exhibits, so don't miss it! And if you think "jeez my kid can make this!", take them to the family friendly events and programs like Saturday Studio where your little Mondrian or Damien Hurst in the making can create projects that are surely refrigerator- if not gallery-worthy. Then save it for 40 years and auction off their "Untitled #1" or tape a piece of fruit to a wall for buckaroos when they become famous. If this experience really leaves you miserable, you can escape to the quaint towns of Beacon or nearby Cold Springs after, where there's lots to do, shop, eat & drink. This is a fantastic stretch of the Hudson Valley to explore! To conclude, I'd love to invite you to my next performance art happening, where I light a pile of debris on fire and title it "Hot Trash."

    Went on the last day before it closes for the season…read more It's very modern ticket center and restrooms. There is also a free tram that takes you around if you don't want to walk. A qr code on the map can be scanned in order to obtain additional information on the sculptures. Some extra walking might need to be done in order to get to the foot of the sculptures. There are also bike rentals if interested. Staff are all kind and helpful. Just ask. Dress warm if you come this time of year. It's definitely a lot more colder then downstate. Cider in the outdoor cafe helped a bit. Will try to come back in warmer months as there's picnic tables that may make it a great day trip.

    STEPH JUDGMENT: An incredible (mostly) outdoor art museum…read more We'd heard a lot of great things about this museum so we knew it was a must-visit. Even with our high expectations we were still very impressed. It's a 500+ acre museum where most of the works are monumental and/or site-specific sculptures. The $25 admission is a great deal for so much amazing art, and the equally amazing grounds. We spent 6+ hours here but didn't get to see everything. We were also just on foot, but they do have trams and bike rentals. The weather was gorgeous on the day of our visit and we were having a ball wending our way around leafy trails and expansive emerald meadows, all interspersed with works of art. There was also a re-creation of a Norman chateau that served as an indoor museum and gift shop. Their cafe was excellent; I got the French onion burger with veggie patty (mushroom-based, great flavor, with melted Gruyere) and an iced cold brew, and the hubby got a grilled cheese, which was also good. We had such a great time; would definitely love to visit Sharon
