Home of Famous Expressionists

This small Long Island house once belonged to famous artist and leader of the abstract expressionist movement Jackson Pollock and his wife, artist Lee Krasner. This house and barn was used by both artists as a living space and studio, remnants of their work are still evident on walls and floor of the nearby barn. Now a National Historic Landmark, this is one of the most artistically significant historical sites in Long Island.

Now a museum memorializing the artists and their work, the house's rooms are furnished with items that belonged to Pollock and Krasner including their personal library and Pollock's Jazz record collection. Visitors to the museum can see the barn studio in which Pollock painted many of his most famous paintings and where drips of paint still remain on the floor and ceiling from his work. The house and museum are open for general admission June through August on Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays, and in September, October and May by appointment.
