Galleries and museums of the Hudson Valley
Known as much for its artists as it's known for rolling hills and
picturesque scenery, the Hudson Valley serves as both a backdrop and
venue to its many local artists.
Local galleries and museums hosts international, national and local
shows and permanent collections including the works of Jackson Pollack
and Willem DeKooning at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College.
See some Museums in Greene County.
