Storm King Art Center

Storm King Art Center is an expansive open-air museum known for its extensive collection of contemporary outdoor sculptures. Founded in 1960 as a museum dedicated to Hudson River School paintings, Storm King soon transformed into a major sculpture venue showcasing works by some of the most acclaimed artists of the 20th century. The center's 500-acre landscape offers a breathtaking backdrop for monumental sculptures that blend art and nature seamlessly.

Over the decades, Storm King has continued to grow, with contributions from landscape architects like William and Joyce Rutherford and Peter Stern, who played a significant role in shaping the center's collection. Notable additions include five monumental works by Mark di Suvero, which were relocated from the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1975. Today, the center's collection includes permanent installations as well as pieces on loan from other museums, making it a premier destination for experiencing large-scale outdoor art in a stunning natural setting.
