Dia art foundation Reviews

If you like large pieces of modern art, this is the place for you. Nice grounds as well

It lives up to the hype! Wonderful space. Great pieces. Expansive, but not overwhelming to enjoy in a single visit. If you enjoy modern art or want to be exposed to it in a comfortable environment this is a good spot for both.
There is a small cafe on site, but there is also an area perfect for a picnic if you'd like to bring your own.
Note the date of my review (7/2/21). They are requiring advanced online tickets be purchased for a specific time/date to assist in social distancing. Another thing of note is that at the current time MASKS ARE REQUIRED notwithstanding one's vaccination status (you MUST keep them fully on while inside, yes, even for photographs). But it was worth it for us despite being fully vaccinated. Get out and enjoy!

Really like the installation arts and interpret the ideas behind each piece on my own way. Easily spent 2 hrs to walk through all exhibits.

Loved this place. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I love how the window to visit isn't forced, because the windows of visitation are only about an hour which is too little for a place this massive. Lots of art and artists all under one beautiful roof. This space was a former Nabisco cracker factory. Its far away and theres not much to do nearby but this place itself is very fun to visit with friends/family.

Fabulous space! This is inside an Old Nabisco Factory. This is about a 10 minute slow walk from the Beacon MetroNorth station. Even if you don t like the artwork in this museum you will love the space it s in. Just the energy in the place was amazing! They have a cafe you can grab a quick bite too with outdoor space. I highly recommend this museum as a day trip from nyc. It s about 1.5 hours from Grand Central Terminal! Check it out!

Wonderful modern art museum in a repurposed industrial building near downtown Beacon. Highly recommended.

Definitely recommend to visit this place if you are interested in contemporary art. Huge collection of established artists' work includingpainting, sculpture, installation, land art etc. Be prepared to walk! Reservation in advance is required. If you visit from New York, there is between 2.5 to 3 hours of commute expected.
There is a Cafe at Dia Beacon location in case you need to eat or drink after your visit. There's also a bookstore on-site.

It's modern art, so if you are unfamiliar, come with an open mind! My favorite were the very large structures by Richard Serra. Make sure to go inside. The museum itself is a little confusing in its layout, since there's no set intuitive path to follow, so I suggest doing something I didn't: use the map that they provide. You want to make sure you don't miss any of the exhibits. There are QR codes on the walls which you can scan for more information on the pieces.

Got lost in the rows and collections of great art. Love the layout and of course all the art to observe and interpret. Must see when in Beacon

They make great use of the enormous (I mean enormous) space. Some terrific installations and exhibits. Some of the permanent collection, meh, but worth sailing through. Makes for a wonderful afternoon upstate. The basement is a must-see sound and light installation, fantastic.
