# Dia Beacon **August 2024 fieldtrip** Photos from my first time at [Dia Beacon](https://www.diaart.org/visit/visit-our-locations-sites/dia-beacon-beacon-united-states). What a dayfull! — so much space dedicated to just being with art. I came for Louise Bourgeois’ spider, and frankly, I’m amazed that I found so much room inside me to take in any more, much less SO much more. I was especially lucky to have a guide: I practically floated from room to room. ![Dia Beacon](https://community.underminingnormal.com/uploads/default/original/1X/d694d050912e1d55793a08da56dbebf5585deaf4.jpeg) ##
