Dia Beacon occupies a 1929 Nabisco box-printing factory on the Hudson River, showing monumental works by artists like Dan Flavin and Richard Serra in raw industrial light. The building itself is part of the experience: skylights, concrete floors, and vast open halls let the art breathe. Plan for at least half a day; this is slow-looking territory.
