It's Monday and some folks are back to working from home. This is a reminder not to forget to take a break for snacks! Image: Claes Oldenburg, Two Loaves of Bread, One Cut, 1961 Photo by Maksim Akelin

Afternoon art break! We had this painting on view last spring in "Where is the Madness You Promised Me." Can you spot where in there our friend self-isolating? #MuseumFromHome Image: Hernan Bas - Night Flight or Midnight Migration, or on My Merry Way, 2008 Photographed by Maksim Akelin

"How We Live" co-curators gave us the inside scoop on putting together the exhibition, and now we're making it available to you! If you want to #MuseumFromHome, the full video is up now:

Museums may be closed right now, but there's still plenty of art to see and make! The Smithsonian Institution released 2.8 million images of their collection that you can browse and download for free. Sounds like the perfect start to a vision board, a collage, or just a way to stay inspired!

It’s time for a #MuseumMomentofZen with the work of Jong Oh. Using almost imperceptible pencil-drawn lines, fishing wire, metal pieces, and more, these installations mirror their surroundings and become part of the exhibition environment. Take a moment of stillness to appreciate the simplicity, yet astonishing complexity, of this How We Live installation.

Each and every day, the health and safety of our visitors is paramount. In the exercise of caution, we have decided to close to the public for the month of March. All public events and programs during the month, including the opening reception for ".edu: Art Faculty of the Hudson Valley," are postponed until further notice. For those who have made reservations for Portfolio Review Day on March 22nd, the event will continue as planned.
