Very organized. Edward Hopper is one of the best artists in new york. He used to live in a small apartment in Greenwich Village .I visited there as well.

We basically paid $32 to watch a 20-min movie about Hopper. We were warned by the front desk manager that they didn't have any of Hopper's oils (which are all at the whitney) and this museum focuses on his early work. Well "focus on his early work" was exceedingly euphemistic because there were I think a total of 2 original pieces (very small) by Hopper himself at this location. There were also two reproductions of Hopper's work, a piece by his wife, and a whole room of Ellsworth Kelly prints ?♀️. The only room that was Hopper-centred was the bedroom...and that was it. I wouldn't recommend this place. The educational value to price ratio is incredibly low. If you look at the photos that some ppl posted of the bedroom, I think you've seen all this museum has to offer. ??

I'm a believer in serendipity, or maybe it's synchronicity. November 18th, 2022, my life changed forever when I saw the Hopper exhibit at the Whitney in NYC. I was always enamored by Nighthawks and the like, but seeing all of the works/sketches up close, was something else.I was told many years ago to take the train up to Nyack and see the Hopper house and the foliage, on November 17th, 2023 I did so. I was not disappointed. The admission ticket allows you to roam the house freely, but Eileen (who greeted me when I walked in) was a wealth of information and gave me my own personal tour. We spoke at length about many things and I spent over two hours there devouring all I could, especially information on Edward's wife Josephine Verstille Hopper (who's been neglected over the years - hopefully that will change). Eileen was kind enough to annotate a map of the places in Nyack that inspired Hopper paintings. I visited them as well.I will be back in the summer time for their storied Jazz Nights in the garden behind the house. If you love Hopper be sure to check this off your bucket list. I'm glad I did.

Very rude costumer service refusing my museum ID telling us the reason that they don’t except Met Museum ID is because Met charge them full price which is not true. I can’t believe how a museum employee doesn’t know that Met allowed all New York State to make donation pay as they wish. Her name was Ayleen and she should learn more not to get personals with visitors .……..Thanks for the response and I totally agree and know but the employee that I mention in my review said;No, you have to pay because Met don’t give us free tickets ….Anyway thank you for you reply and time….

The Edward Hopper House is little gem in the lovely town of Nyack. It's a fun stop for tourists and locals alike! We found our volunteer tour-guide, Renee, engaging, fun, and knowledgeable! An enjoyable must-do experience for anyone who loves art, history and Americana.

Was very neat place to see. Eileen was so fabulous, very knowledgeable, provided great insights, and just pleasant to talk with. I did the walking tour which looks fairly quick when you’re looking at a map but be prepared for some steep hills! I broke a sweat! But I’m glad I went and I would do it again

It was very nice to visit the museum and to have information for reaching the cemetery where Edward Hopper is buried.

Our visit to the Edward Hopper House was terrific! The house is on a residential street, very accessible with a nice garden in the back. The docent, Eileen, was gracious, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Don't expect to see original Hopper paintings. Those were all left to the Whitney in NYC. Nevertheless, a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

The tour and museum were fascinating. So happy I spontaneously made the trip over from across the Hudson River. I spent about two hours, first watching the film (narrated by Steve Martin) about Hopper's life and influences, then listening to the well-informed, friendly docent, and then exploring on my own. There are drawings from Hopper's childhood, artwork by his wife, Jo, and a small gift shop. There was a separate photography exhibit about cafeterias in New York City that was a wonderful complement to Hopper. I loved seeing so much of his work in the film, and hearing about his work, marriage, and family. You can stand in his childhood bedroom and imagine the view he saw of the Hudson with the light reflecting on the waves. Eileen, our tour guide, was charming and welcoming and recommended a great lunch spot (the Art House Cafe) and gave me a tip about where to park without being charged.

On a lark, we decided to visit the Hopper house on this very rainy day. What an absolute gem!!!Eileen provided us with an in depth history of the house, Hopper's life, his parents life, Jo's art, and Hopper's connection to the Whitney's. She went above and beyond proving us with the history of Hopper's art and how it tied into the area. Eileen brought Hopper's history to life, providing many anecdotes and connections. Her clear interest in Hopper was infectious and we left looking forward to seeing other Hopper works.Eileen also provided us with great recommendations for dinner in town which was the perfect spot! Thanks again!We did wonder why there was no plaque about one of Jo's art pieces. (It seemed to be an oversight.)

Small and charming. There are a few original drawings from Hopper's early years, a few replicas and a documentary. This is by no means intended to be compared to the Whitney Museum and may not be the sole reason for travelling to Nyack, but if you like Hopper and are in the area, it is worth stopping by and taking 45ish minutes to visit.

We learned about Hopper,saw early work we had not known about,and toured his home. The staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic- a dynamic combination. Nyack itself was a surprise, as we admired old homes and river views. All in all,a great experience.

If you like Hopper, you'll love the museum. It's small, but comprehensive, with lots of information about his early days in Nyack. There's also a great video for visitors to get the story on his entire career, with insights about him and his art. We were also threated to a display of photos by Marcia Bricker Halperin, recalling a vanished era of NewYork (that we could actually remember!) After your visit, there are many great choices in town for lunch or dinner. We delayed going for years. Don't you!

What an absolute delight it was to visit Edward Hopper's birthplace and home until age 26 in picturesque Nyack, NY! My out-of-town guests and I, all Hopper aficionados, had the pleasure of a guided tour by Executive Director Kathy Bennewitz who was extremely knowledgeable and very gracious. This visit has enhanced my desire to learn even more about Hopper and his impressionable body of work.
