About Parrish Art Museum

Founded in Southampton in 1898, the Parrish moved in 2012 to a 615-foot-long, barn-shaped building by Herzog & de Meuron in Water Mill. Its collection of more than 3,500 works centers on artists who lived on the East End, with large holdings of William Merritt Chase and Fairfield Porter. Adult admission is $20, and children 18 and under get in free. Docents lead 40-minute gallery tours most Saturdays at 2 pm, and parking behind the building is free.
