Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

DesignArtClosed · Opens 10amFreeL'Enfant Plaza (Metro — Green, Yellow, Orange and Blue lines; 7th & Maryland Ave exit)

افتتح Hirshhorn أبوابه عام 1974 انطلاقاً من إهداء رجل الصناعة Joseph H. Hirshhorn لنحو 6,000 عمل فني، ليصبح متحف الفن الحديث والمعاصر التابع لمؤسسة Smithsonian. صمم Gordon Bunshaft المبنى ليكون أسطوانة خرسانية مفرغة بقطر 231 قدماً، ترتفع على أربع دعامات ضخمة فوق فناء تتوسطه نافورة، وتحتضن صالات عرض موزعة على ثلاثة طوابق تلتف في حلقات متحدة المركز. تمتد المقتنيات لتشمل أعمالاً لفنانين مثل Rodin وBrancusi وMatisse وHopper، وصولاً إلى Pollock وRothko وde Kooning وفنانين معاصرين، تُعرض جنباً إلى جنب مع معارض مؤقتة طموحة وأعمال تركيبية دائمة أُبدعت خصيصاً للمتحف بتكليف من Mark Bradford وBarbara Kruger وLaurie Anderson. وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن حديقة Sculpture Garden المجاورة مغلقة منذ عام 2023 في إطار مشروع تطوير وإعادة تأهيل من تصميم Hiroshi Sugimoto، ومن المقرر إعادة افتتاحها في 31 أكتوبر 2026.
