Dia Beacon – A Major New Showplace For Art

The Dia Foundation is opening a new home in the Hudson Valley town of Beacon, about an hour north of New York City. “The Dia:Beacon is on 31 acres along the Hudson and is a five-minute walk from a Metro North train station. Its 240,000 square feet of exhibition space is more than four times the exhibition space of the Whitney Museum of American Art and not quite twice the size of the Tate Modern in London.”
