Since its opening in May 2003, Dia Beacon has helped transform the city of Beacon into a vibrant arts destination for visitors from the region, New York City, and beyond. In keeping with Dia’s history of single-artist, site-related presentations, each gallery was designed specifically for the installation of one artist’s work. Transportation Patrons are responsible for transportation to and from the museum. There are public transportation options via Metro-North's Hudson Line (Croton-Harmon to Beacon). Dia Beacon is an 8-10 minute walk (1/2 mile) from the Metro-North Beacon Station. You can also take the Beacon Loop Shuttle or a ride-share. See directions on the museum's website.
