With over 500-acres of sprawling landscape, Storm King Art Center is not your typical art museum. Located in New York's Hudson Valley, visitors experience large-scale sculptures under an open sky, rather than a stuffy gallery. The dramatic landscape includes farmed fields, natural woodlands, lawns, native grasses, wetlands, and water, so it's not just a feast for the eyes but also an adventure for your body. The vast, open spaces provide the perfect backdrop for a lazy weekend day wandering the grounds and admiring the massive pieces. Just be warned: the secret's out on Storm King, so unless you can visit during the weekday, expect plenty of other visitors standing in the way of your Instagram shots.
