"A striking, barn-like museum you can’t miss from the road, this stop pairs sleek architecture with a strong roster of art on the South Fork." - Jessica Chapel, Emily Adler
"On a rainy day, I’ll head over to The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill. It has a wide-ranging collection of over 3,000 works, including pieces by Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and William de Kooning, all of whom lived in the East End." - Elise Taylor
"Driving down Route 27, you'll see what looks like a hyper-elongated modernist barn in an open field with two giant Roy Lichtenstein sculptures out front. This Herzog and de Meuron designed building is home to more than 2,600 works of art, many of them made by artists who lived and worked on the East End during their lifetimes, including Lichtenstein, Fairfield Porter, Willem de Kooning, and Dan Flavin. It's usually an older, quieter crowd—people are here to see the architecture and spend some time contemplating the art in the galleries. It never gets too crowded, unless it's a rainy day on a summer weekend." - Alex Van Buren, Andrea Whittle, Devra Ferst
"For their landmark 125th anniversary, the Parrish Art Museum asked 41 esteemed artists with East End roots—including Cindy Sherman, KAWS, and Robert Longo—to curate a show that includes both their own work and that of others who reflect the East End’s long artistic legacy." - Elise Taylor
"Low-slung and shedlike, with its corrugated tin roof and parallel 615-foot slabs of poured concrete, the Parrish Art Museum features a style that might be called Modern Agricultural." - Travel + Leisure Editors
