Opus 40

This sculpture park was intended to house the works of the designer, but the setting itself became the artist's masterwork. It is possible to visit by appointment on non-open days.

It was part of my Month long fall color trip to New England area and I was looking for something to do while in Poughkeepsie NY. Opus 40 is amazing place lots of hard work put into build the stone walls and the monument by oneman! The place is not very big but this is the place where you can take a walk and has picnic table so you can pack your picnic and enjoy.

Center for Photography at Woodstock

Reviewed By HeidiD451 - Lambertville, United States

Why visit Woodstock? For the music and art of course. While the famous Woodstock festival was actually in Bethel, the town of Woodstock itself has many reminders of the town's musical roots. The Center for Photography at Woodstock is a must see for many reasons. It is a non-profit exhibition space was founded in 1977 by Howard Greenberg. The space hosts a roster of shows, speakers, and programs. It's free to walk around, view some great and thought-provoking photos, and talk about the town and building's history. The Center is housed in the building that was once Café Espresso, the bar where Bob Dylan and Joan Baez played in the sixties. The friendly owner will tell stories of the building's history if you ask and spend some time chatting.

Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art

Reviewed By R4960NKjustinw - Hasbrouck Heights, United States

I was very impressed by the Dorsky Museum on the SUNY New Platz campus. This small museum of about five small galleries packs a nice punch in the art department. The small gallery to the left had a display of permanent art from the college collection that was very interesting. They have a unique collection of all sorts ancient and modern art. The main galleries had exhibitions on The Mohonk House Hotel close by, a photography exhibition by Marcuse Pfeifer and a painting portrait exhibition by artist Angela Dufresne, all of which were very interesting. The nice part of the museum is that it is not overwhelming like some of the larger museums in NYC where it becomes overwhelming with the exhibitions and you have to go back six times to see it all. The Dorsky Museum has nice sized galleries and you can take everything in in about three hours. Also the museum is free unless you want to donate $5.00 to the museum.
