Specialties: Two famous modern artists, Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, lived and worked here. This National Historic Landmark, open May - October, offers guided and self-guided tours, exhibitions, lectures, films, art workshops, school and group tours. Visitors see the studio where Pollock and Krasner created their masterpieces. The Study Center supports research on modern American art. Established in 1988. The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center was created under the terms of Lee Krasner Pollock's will. She instructed her executors to deed the property to a charitable institution. She envisioned it as "a public museum and library," to show the setting in which she and Pollock created many of their works, and as a place for the study of modern American art. In 1987 her estate deeded the property to the Stony Brook Foundation, a private, non-profit affiliate of Stony Brook University. The museum was opened to the public in June 1988. On the studio floor is evidence of Pollock's most famous poured paintings, including Autumn Rhythm (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Convergence (Albright-Knox Art Gallery), Blue Poles (National Gallery of Australia) and Lavender Mist (National Gallery, Washington DC). On the walls are remnants of Krasner's dynamic gestural paintings, including Gaea (Museum of Modern Art, New York), Siren (Hirshhorn Museum) and Portrait in Green (Pollock-Krasner Foundation).
