One of New York's gems. Located in a small village one hour from Grand Central, Dia: Beacon is an astonishing and peculiar contemporary art museum. It shows a permanent collection of masters such as Louise Bourgueois, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, but the Dia is not only a list of famous names. It's the exquisite selection of pieces, the enormous size of the rooms, its natural light and the fact that it is far from the maddening crowds.
