Hudson River Museum

The Hudson River Museum (HRM), founded in 1919, is a preeminent cultural institution in Westchester County on the banks of the Hudson River in Yonkers, New York. The museum’s permanent collection comprises more than 18,000 works, including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, photographs, decorative arts, costumes, textiles, graphic design and historical objects. Highlights range from 19th-century Hudson River School paintings and Gilded Age decorative arts to contemporary American art. The museum features works by Hudson River School artists including Samuel Colman, Jasper F. Cropsey and Asher B. Durand, and a diverse range of other figures such as Georgia O’Keeffe, neoclassical sculptor Hiram Powers and the Welsh born realist Sylvia Sleigh. An immersive “sculpto-pictorama” by New York artist Red Grooms is a highlight, and the museum continues to collect recent work in varied media. A new wing designed by Archimuse opened in 2023, expanding the museum’s total footprint by more than 12,000 square feet, and providing stunning views of the Hudson River. The campus also features a state-of-the-art Planetarium, and the Glenview Historic Home, an exceptionally well-preserved 1877 mansion with original interiors.
