Top choice in The Hamptons
Wyeth is the sort of place where you can't tell exactly what is going on inside as you pass by on the road but you are compelled to stop and check it out. And you're so glad you did. Inside is a treasure trove of mid-century modern design worthy of an afternoon of browsing.
There isn't a lot here for a tourist to take home (there are some small artifacts), but it gives most retro design museums a run for their money.
