Dia Bridgehampton, previously known as the Dan Flavin Art Institute, is a museum in Bridgehampton, New York run by the Dia Art Foundation. Originally built in 1909 as a firehouse, the building was sold to the First Baptist Church of Bridgehampton in 1924. The church renovated and expanded the building in 1947 and used it as a place of worship through the mid-1970s. The congregation grew and, in 1979, they sold the building to the Dia Art Foundation. Dia renovated the building into a single-artist museum for Dan Flavin as well as a rotating exhibition space. The building re-opened in 1983 as the Dan Flavin Art Institute.
The second floor and vestibule of the museum house ten works by Dan Flavin on permanent display and the first floor houses a gallery for temporary exhibitions. In addition, the rear of the second floor holds a display of historic memorabilia from the First Baptist Church including the church doors, a frosted glass window, a large neon cross, and the 1947 church cornerstone.
In early 2020, Dia stopped calling the building the "Dan Flavin Art Institute" and began calling it "Dia Bridgehampton". The Flavin works within the building are now considered the "Dan Flavin Art Institute" while the rotating gallery makes up the rest of "Dia Bridgehampton". This museum is one of the twelve locations and sites the Dia Art Foundation manages.
