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. The institution presents changing exhibitions alongside educational programming for all ages.

Glenview was built in the late 19th century as a suburban mansion; the property was later adapted for museum use and expanded to include gallery space and the planetarium. The museum’s collections and displays have been developed to reflect regional history and art.

The museum sits in downtown Yonkers on the Hudson waterfront, north of New York City - roughly 15 miles (about 24 km) north of Midtown Manhattan. Public transit and nearby roads provide direct connections from the surrounding Westchester County area.

• Planetarium: On-site planetarium used for public astronomy programs and educational shows; schedules vary by season so check ahead.
• Glenview: Historic house and period rooms dating to the late 19th century located on the museum grounds.
