About LongHouse Reserve
Through its gallery, arboretum, sculpture gardens
and programs, LongHouse Reserve brings together art
and nature, aesthetics and spirit, with a strong
conviction that the arts are central to living
wholly and creatively. LongHouse Reserve is a
not-for-profit museum that encompasses nearly 16
beautiful acres in East Hampton, New
York. Each year the
LongHouse Reserve presents major exhibitions in both
the gallery and the gardens. Currently, there are
more than 60 sculptures for the gardens including
works of glass by Dale Chihuly, ceramics by Takaezu,
and bronzes by Barceló, Voulkos, Benglis and de
Kooning. Works by Ossorio, Claus Bury, Yoko Ono,
Opocensky, and Takashi Soga are also on view, while
the installation of a Fly's Eye Dome designed by
Buckminster Fuller and a site-specific Sol Lewitt
add interesting scale and dimension. Open days for
members and the public are 2 to 5 p.m. Wednesdays
and Saturdays, from April 25 through October 12
(Columbus Day weekend) July and August - Wednesday
through Saturday 2-5 p.m.
