  • Featuring artists of critical acclaim in several media.

  • The first New York museum built from the ground up in 30 years, the eight-level, innovative, skylit structure shows off a great collection of this whimsical, all-American art form. Paintings, sculptures, quilts, weathervanes, samplers and furniture are among the items on show.

  • The new museum quadruples the space for this extensive collection of folk art.

  • The largest museum of its kind in the world exhibits everything from dinosaurs to Chinese costumes and rare gems. In addition to the planetarium show in the Rose Center, there are nature films in a giant IMAX theater.

  • Since moving from SoHo to Chelsea, Rosen’s eclectic shows have made this one of the area’s most visited galleries.

  • A dramatic backdrop for large-scale pieces, video pioneers, and photography.

  • The permanent collection has objects from ancient Egyptian to contemporary art (see Brooklyn Museum of Art).

  • A world-class museum in a fine Beaux Arts building exhibiting cutting-edge contemporary work alongside permanent collections of Asian, Egyptian, African, and American art. There are also Rodin sculptures, and decorative arts that include period rooms.

  • A private collection of 2,000 works of 19th- and 20th-century art.

  • A trenchant supporter of large-scale works of art since the 1970s, the non-profit Dia Center for the Arts opened this spacious facility in 1987 in a four-story renovated warehouse. The galleries are currently closed for renovation until 2006, but exhibitions continue to be held at the branch gallery in Beacon, NY.
