I went to the Dia:Beacon last weekend, with very little expectations, and had a fabulous time! I was completely blown away by the installations, particularly by the Richard Serra pieces. If you are a fan of Modern Art and have not been here, this is a real must-see! You will never find this kind of art work in the galleries in Manhattan because there's just not enough space. As the museum is lit by natural light, it's important to go on a nice day. We spent a good 3 hours there and just managed to see the entire museum. I will definitely be back!
Pros: fabulous Modern Art!, great gardens, not crowded
Cons: Distance from NYC
