Hudson River Museum

The Hudson River Museum is an art and history museum in Yonkers, New York, located on the east bank of the Hudson River. It combines visual art exhibitions, local history displays and public programs.

The museum’s historic house, Glenview, with period rooms and decorative arts, rotating art exhibitions focused on American and regional themes, and an on-site planetarium that runs public astronomy programs.
