Trip to Beacon

This weekend I had three days off!! Yay!!
I wanted to do something different so I went to Beacon for the first time to visit Dia Beacon museum.
http://www.diaart.org/sites/main/beacon
I took metro north from Grand Central Station. Just taking different train in the nature was so relaxing.
The museum was a few minutes walk from the station. It was in the middle of no where. From the front I couldn't tell how bid it was but once I got in there, it was so spacious.
I really liked to be in that space. Just enjoy walking around, enjoy the arts, nature and also it was interesting to see the people there.
There were many families with babies. And babies were so interested in those arts. The arts there were so simple and for them it might be easy to feel them. It was really interesting to see how they enjoy arts there.
After the museum, I walked around. It was cute little town. There were some interesting shops. But it was on Monday some of them were closed unfortunately. I would love to go back there in different season. Maybe fall or spring!!

久々の3連休、何か特別なことがしたいと思い、ニューヨーク内ではあるけれど少し遠出をしてきました。
ビーコン美術館。。。
コンテンポラリーアートが楽しめる自然の中の美術館です。
メトロノースに乗って、1時間半。コーヒーとクロワッサンをグラセンで仕入れ、遠足気分で電車に揺られ、自然の風景を楽しみながらと、着く前から大満足。
その日はとっても暑い日だったので、美術館までの道のり、肌がジリジリするほどでしたが、大きな空と緑の濃さを楽しむこともでき、やっと美術館へ。
中はとにかく広いスペースをいろいろなアーティストによりあの手、この手で不思議な空間に。。。それぞれの作品も興味深かったのですが、何よりもその空間がとっても素敵でした。窓からは日差しと緑が、そして作品が作り出す影。
非日常とはまさにこのこと。
また意外にも小さい子供を連れた家族連れが多く、赤ちゃんたちがそれぞれとっても作品を楽しんでいるのに驚きました。シンプルな色や形によって見せる作品は彼らにもわかりやすく、興味を引くんですね。。。とても興味深い発見でした。
美術館のカフェもなかなか満足。小さなビーコンの町もかわいいギャラリーやお店がちらほら。あの暑さには参りましたが、ちょっとした小旅行にはぴったりな場所でした。
また季節が変わったら来ようかな。。。
