Hudson River Museum

Hudson River Museum is an art museum in Yonkers housed in a three-level building with American art collections, contemporary installations, and a planetarium. The facility combines a historic mansion dating to 1877 with modern exhibition spaces designed to merge artistic and scientific displays.

The museum opened in 1919 and developed around a historic mansion built in the 1870s that served as both residence and exhibition space. This combination of heritage building and art collecting created a cultural institution that continues to serve the region today.

The museum draws its identity from its riverside location and presents works reflecting the region and its artistic heritage. Visitors encounter both traditional American art forms and contemporary pieces that shape how people understand the cultural landscape of the Hudson Valley.

The museum is open Thursday through Sunday, with free admission offered on certain evenings. The location is accessible from the waterfront area and provides parking for visitors arriving by car.

The planetarium runs regular programs about space and provides an unexpected scientific dimension within an art museum setting. This blend of art and astronomy attracts visitors interested in exploring both subjects in one location.
