In May 2003, Dia opened Dia:Beacon, Riggio Galleries, a museum to house its renowned but rarely seen permanent collection comprised of major works of art from the 1960s to the present. Located on the Hudson River in Beacon, New York, Dia:Beacon occupies a nearly 300,000-square-foot historic printing factory.

The Beacon museum’s expansive galleries have been specifically designed for the display of the artworks to which Dia is committed, many of which, because of their character or scale, could not be easily accommodated by more conventional museums.

Works installed at the museum range from the1978 Shadows (a single work comprising multiple canvases) by Andy Warhol; to three of Richard Serra's monumental sculptures in the Torqued Ellipses; "monuments" for V. Tatlin, a series of fluorescent light works by Dan Flavin; several mixed-media installations by Joseph Beuys and Agnes Martin’s 1999 paintings Innocent Love, among others. Each artist’s work is displayed in a dedicated gallery or galleries: in many cases these presentations were created in collaboration with the artists themselves.

The Building and Site
Built in 1929 by Nabisco (National Biscuit Company), the historic steel, concrete, and glass factory building, designed by Nabisco’s staff architect Louis N. Wirshing, Jr., is a model of early-twentieth-century industrial architecture. Press blue button for visitor information and more about Dia:Beacon Riggio Galleries.

Mount Beacon towers above Beacon and Fishkill at the northern gateway to the Hudson Highlands.

Mount Beacon is the most visible summit for miles around, providing the defining backdrop for local communities. Its prominence made the mountain an important factor in the Revolutionary War when it served as part of the Continental Army's early warning and signaling system. George Washington's troops set signal fires to communicate vital information about British troop movements. Mount Beacon is named for the beacon fires lit upon its summit during the Revolutionary War.

The incline railway, the steepest of its kind in the world at the time, carried visitors to the heights of the mountain for dining, dancing and enjoying spectacular views, from 1902 until the late 1970s.

Mount Beacon Park was created on land preserved by Scenic Hudson in the City of Beacon and Town of Fishkill. Totaling 234 acres, the parcels were purchased in 1995 and 1998, respectively.

Restaurant Review

The word is "Poppy's grass fed beef burgers are delicious, but be prepared for a totally "no frills" storefront with a few tables, pinball machine, and food wrapped in foil and served in a paper bag. Plates are not available and if your in the mood for a salad, you'll have to manage with tomato and lettuce and a tiny side of coleslaw. For me, the grass-fed burger prepared to perfection, is worth the trip."

On a warm day buy the burgers and eat out at one of the parks along the Hudson in Beacon, New York.

"We are proud to offer our local communities veterinary hospitals that provide reasonably priced pet vaccinations, such as the rabies vaccine and spays and neuters for cats and dogs. We also provide full animal hospital services from wellness exams to dentistry, digital imaging and surgery. We recognize that due to the recent economic downturn, many families are currently struggling with finances. Our practice feels that all pet owners should have the option of altering their pet, and to reflect this we have significantly reduced the cost of spays and neuters. We do not want price to be an impediment at our hospitals."
