On Saturday I took a little trip up north to the town of Beacon, NY to view the collection at Dia:Beacon. I have wanted to go for a while and it was well worth the trip.
The Metro North stop is basically right outside the museum and Main Street, which is pretty much the only commercial street is a short walk. I drove, but if you suckas don’t have a car it is walkable/bikeable if you wanna make a day of it.
The museum is an ex box factory and the rooms are huge and all lit exclusively by natural light. Some features include: Sol Lewitt drawings that are AMAZING, a room lined by Warhol’s shadow paintings, some huge Serra sculptures and my favorite were these wooden Donald Judd boxes.
For lunch, we selected BJ’s BBQ. Best cornbread in the world! But I don’t recommend the yams, too sweet for my liking.*
Any Who….Five stars to the town of Beacon.
