It’s closer than you think. For your next weekend escape, why don’t you come for a visit and step into a landscape painting? Hop a train or a car and follow in the artist’s footsteps up the Hudson River to discover the unbelievable views that inspired Cole’s world-famous Hudson River School paintings.

Plan your escape today and reserve tickets to see the new special exhibition designed to complement the major Thomas Cole show organized by The Met and the National Gallery, London this year. Presented in partnership with the Yale Center for British Art and scholars from the Yale Department of Art History, Picturesque and Sublime: Thomas Cole’s Trans-Atlantic Inheritance is now on view at the historic site through November 4 amidst the landscape that inspired it all.
