Situated on the banks of the Hudson River in Beacon, New York, and easily accessible by train or car, the museum occupies a former Nabisco box-printing facility that Dia renovated with artist Robert Irwin and architect OpenOffice.

In addition to its collection, the museum presents temporary exhibitions and diverse public and education programs.
