Storm King Art Center is a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature. Five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists. At Storm King, the exhibition space is defined by sky and land. Unencumbered by walls, the subtly created flow of space is punctuated by modern sculpture. The grounds are surrounded by the undulating profiles of the Hudson Highlands, a dramatic panorama integral to the viewing experience. The sculptures are affected by changes in light and weather, so no two visits are the same.

TOUCHING OR CLIMBING:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ask for your cooperation in protecting our works of art, as well as the safety of our visitors, by not touching or climbing on any sculptures. We understand that these works fascinate visitors and our natural instinct is to touch the pieces and connect with them. However, even though the sculptures are outdoors and subject to the elements, most people do not realize that even the natural oils in our hands can do irreparable damage to the surfaces of the works. Part of our mission is to preserve the sculptures for future generations and request your cooperation.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO FILMING:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both are permitted outdoors for private use only. NO commercial photography. Photos taken at the Art Center are not to be published for any purpose this includes the internet.

ANIMALS:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only trained guide and service animals are permitted on the grounds. No pets allowed.

Please remember that the Storm King Art Center is beautiful in all weather conditions. Sculptures have different charms when seen in bright sunlight, in the soft light of a cloudy day, or even in the changing light of a slight rain. Every weather condition gives a different character to the works and adds new dimension to the outdoor visual experience.
