Hudson River Museum

The shows during the summer are pretty good! Even during pandemic times they never stop giving residents a bit of live music and performance from amazing artists. They followed guidelines and design a smart layout at the amphitheater and took the necessary precautions to make the audience feel safe and welcomed! Love this place. A truly gem in the area of Yonkers NY

Always love coming here. A blend of science, art, and natural beauty there is no better place to explore the Hudson except for going out on it. Come for a mix of history and current topics, stay for the views. Can’t wait to come back soon.

The Hudson River Museum has been a life saver for my family and I during the pandemic. Their programs have brought joy to our lives.

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

There's so much to see and do at this museum! Even now in these days of social distancing the museum is offering online exhibitions. I recently viewed the Hudson Museum from Home touring its permanent collection. I've been missing my dose of culture but the online collection offered so much for me to look at, enjoy and learn about. I could really take my time with the paintings and even did some further investigation online reading more on Google about the artists and artwork. I love painting, sculpture, etc. and the Hudson River Museum's collections are are phenomenal. They are offering so much online now for families, teachers and art lovers like myself. What a resource to check out online!nnAnd when we're able to visit again, I HIGHLY recommend it. The grounds offer breathtaking views of the Hudson. As I mentioned the exhibits are top notch, I especially loved the recent Thomas Cole exhibition focusing on paintings of Catskill Creek. It was accompanied by an exhibition by contemporary artists and their artistic interpretation of the Hudson River. The museum does an excellent job of highlighting contemporary artists as well as creating events that connect with the community. I think it's one of their strengths (among many.) There's just so much to see.nnThe first time I visited I took a tour of the historic Glenview mansion. You'll feel like you've been transported to the Gilded Age. You'll be immersed in the art, furnishings and the history of the time. (I loved the patterned wallpaper - but really everything is gorgeous.) I also enjoyed the Riverama - an interactive exhibit covering the history, ecology and the impact of the Hudson River - it's perfect for kids, though I pretty much loved it too. There's also a planetarium - which is on my list for my next visit. The museum also offers great place to sit and grab a snack and chat about what you've just seen. The staff and everyone I've ever interacted with are incredibly warm and friendly. I've been to a lot of museums all over the world and this is by far one of my favorites!
