There are also many beautiful public green spaces here, where you can spend a leisurely afternoon.

【Dia Beacon】
With 160000 square feet, it is one of the largest exhibition spaces in the country for modern and contemporary art. The museum, which opened in 2003, is situated near the banks of the Hudson River in Beacon, New York. Dia Beacon's facility, the Riggio Galleries, is a former Nabisco box-printing facility. It shows the majority of Dia’s art collection from the 1960s to the present day, it also hosts special exhibitions, newly commissioned works, and public and educational projects. Dia:Beacon was founded by Dia Art Foundation. The name they chose, Dia, is "through" in Greek, which means that those works of art that are difficult to realize in conventional museums due to scale and site limitations can be realized through Dia.
