Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

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

Εγκαινιασμένο το 1974 χάρη στη δωρεά περίπου 6.000 έργων από τον βιομήχανο Joseph H. Hirshhorn, το Hirshhorn αποτελεί το μουσείο μοντέρνας και σύγχρονης τέχνης του Smithsonian. Το κτίριο του Gordon Bunshaft είναι ένας ανοιχτός κύλινδρος από σκυρόδεμα με διάμετρο 70 μέτρων, υπερυψωμένος πάνω σε τέσσερις ογκώδεις πυλώνες γύρω από μια αυλή με σιντριβάνι, στεγάζοντας τρεις ορόφους εκθεσιακών χώρων σε ομόκεντρους δακτυλίους. Η συλλογή εκτείνεται από τους Rodin, Brancusi, Matisse και Hopper έως τους Pollock, Rothko και de Kooning, φτάνοντας μέχρι σύγχρονους δημιουργούς, και πλαισιώνεται από φιλόδοξες περιοδικές εκθέσεις καθώς και μόνιμες ειδικές αναθέσεις έργων από τους Mark Bradford, Barbara Kruger και Laurie Anderson. Ο παρακείμενος Sculpture Garden παραμένει κλειστός από το 2023 λόγω έργων ανάπλασης που σχεδίασε ο Hiroshi Sugimoto, με την επαναλειτουργία του να έχει προγραμματιστεί για τις 31 Οκτωβρίου 2026.
