There’s A Little Known Unique Sculpture Park In New York…And It’s Truly Amazing
Did you know that one of the world’s most amazing sculpture parks can be found right here in New York? Just an hour north of the Big Apple in the lower Hudson Valley region you’ll find this unforgettable open-air museum. Back open for the season once again, you can visit the Storm King Art Center now through the end of October!

It wasn't long before the charming art museum turned into a full blown sculpture park! In 1967, 13 pieces of art sculpted by artist David Smith were purchased, the parks first start to forming its sculpture collection.
With such picturesque wide open spaces like these, you'll have a hard time not wanting to stroll around the park all day. But just in case your feet get tired, a tram runs every half hour throughout the park between the hours of 11AM and 4:30PM.
After being on display at another museum, the works of art had plans to be taken apart and stored away. How disappointing would that have been?
While these uniquely curved hills that roll so effortlessly across the open fields are sure to grab your attention, it's their pairing with the Schunnemunk Mountains as a back drop that makes for an overall breathtaking sight.
Keep your eye out for listed Moonlit Walks, here.
