natural beauty and rich artistic legacy of Long Island's East End as it integrates architecture and landscape in a plan.

The building contains 12,200 square feet of pristine, sky-lit gallery to take advantage of natural north light. 4,600

square feet are available for presenting special exhibition and the other 7,600 square feet are to installations of

Museum's permanent collection that features more than 3,000 works from nineteenth century to the present.
