Storm King is a huge park containing sculptures by world-renowned artists such as Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, and many more. Except for winter, when it's closed, it is worth the trip (by bus or by car - directions are available on their website).
From the Storm King website:
"Storm King Art Center is a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature. Five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists. At Storm King, the exhibition space is defined by sky and land. Unencumbered by walls, the subtly created flow of space is punctuated by modern sculpture. The grounds are surrounded by the undulating profiles of the Hudson Highlands, a dramatic panorama integral to the viewing experience. The sculptures are affected by changes in light and weather, so no two visits are the same."
If you go by bus, bring food and drink for a picnic as there is no restaurant on site.
For the hard-core shoppers, know that Storm King is only a few miles from Woodbury Common, the shopping outlet.
