Dia Art Foundation | Dia:Beacon
Dia Beacon is the perfect warm-weather escape from the city. Housed in a nearly 300,000-square-foot former Nabisco factory on the Hudson River, 34,000 square feet of skylights flood the galleries with natural light. The museum features artist-focused spaces, including work by Louise Bourgeois, Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Andy Warhol, and more. Open Friday–Monday, 10 am–5 pm. Take the Metro-North from Grand Central to the Beacon station, about 90 minutes. From the station, walk 7 minutes or take the Beacon Free Loop Bus (runs Monday–Saturday). Enjoy the Dia Beacon Cafe and explore the Shop. The town of Beacon has many restaurants and shops. Combine your visit with a Hudson River waterfront walk or a hike at Breakneck Ridge. “A must-see spot on the contemporary-art circuit, the ideal destination for any New Yorker in need of a head-clearing day trip” “Dia Beacon has become synonymous with the upstate New York art scene” Join today for free admission, bookshop discounts, inv
