The Hudson River Museum is excited to announce that we will reopen to the public on Saturday, July 25, with special Member Preview Days on July 23 and 24.
Visitors will be able to experience the special exhibitions currently on view: Derrick Adams: Buoyant and Adams’ We Came to Party and Plan; Collection Spotlight: Derrick Adams Selects; Self in the City: Highlights from the Collections of the HRM and Art Bridges; and Frances Hynes: Constellations, as well as the permanent installation The Bookstore by Red Grooms. The Museum Courtyard will be open, and visitors are invited to enjoy the lawn by bringing their own mat or blanket.
The reopened Museum will allow guests to experience the HRM while taking measures to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors. Museum hours this summer will be Thursday–Sunday, 12–5pm; on Saturday evenings from August 1 through September 19 the HRM will be open until 7pm. Advanced, timed-entry tickets and reservations will be required. Visitors will be able to choose from various slots per day. Capacity is strictly limited, and visitors must arrive and depart from the Museum within their reserved time slot. The Museum has reduced capacity to 40 visitors per time slot, until further notice. Timed tickets will go on sale on July 15 at hrm.org/visit and at (914) 963-4550.
During the nearly four months since the HRM has been closed, the Museum has changed our policies and practices to prepare for our reopening, using CDC and New York State guidelines. We have added supplemental precautions, such as enhanced cleanings, one-way traffic in the galleries, touchless hand sanitizing stations, and improved air filtration.
Face masks will be required for visitors older than two years old, and for all staff members. All visitors and staff will also be asked to adhere to social-distancing guidelines and use hand sanitizer upon entry to the Museum. Our virtual programming will continue; the summer offerings can be found at hrm.org/calendar.
Summer Amphitheater Series & Free Saturday Evenings
We are thrilled to be welcoming back audiences for our popular Summer Amphitheater Series, presenting artists of the highest quality across multiple disciplines and genres, with a focus on both iconic and emerging performers. The performances will take place in our outdoor theater adjacent to the Museum and overlooking the Hudson River. For this year’s season, the HRM will be presenting one performance each weekend on Saturday evenings in August and September, with socially distanced seating, and a limited capacity of 50 guests at each performance.
All performances are free and begin at 8pm, with doors opening at 7:30pm. Reservations are required through hrm.org/amphitheater. The Museum will also offer free admission to its galleries and courtyard on Saturdays, 5–7pm, August 1–September 19, made possible by Entergy.
Saturday, August 1st–Tango Night! Latin Grammy Award winner bassist and composer Pedro Giraudo is among the most compelling tango artists today. After two decades performing with the most important interpreters of tango, Pedro Giraudo debuted his own Tango Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing in July 2015 and since then has become an active cultural ambassador of this beautiful and passionate music of his native Argentina.
