Parrish Art Museum
A barn-inspired art museum designed by Herzog & de Meuron, housing two centuries of works by Hamptons artists.
The Parrish Art Museum moved to a new building in Water Mill in 2012. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the Pritzker Prize–winning architecture firm, its long double-pitched roof echoes traditional Long Island farmhouses and artists' studios. The collection focuses on artists who lived or worked at the eastern end of Long Island, including works by William Merritt Chase, Fairfield Porter, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, and the museum regularly hosts contemporary exhibitions. Friday evenings often offer free admission and events. Admission is about $15; allow 1–1.5 hours for a visit, and the grassy slopes outside are good for resting and taking photos.
