Designed in 1963 by Philip Johnson with Richard Foster as the home of David and Carmen Kreeger, this travertine-clad villa of groin-vaulted cubes and domes opened to the public as a museum in 1994. The collection runs from the 1850s to the present: nine Claude Monet paintings, a career-spanning group of Picassos, and works by Renoir, Sisley, Pissarro, Degas, Cezanne, Munch, Kandinsky, Chagall and Miro, alongside Washington artists such as Sam Gilliam, Gene Davis and Thomas Downing. Outside, the Sculpture Terrace and Sculpture Garden spread across five and a half wooded acres with pieces by Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Jean Arp, Aristide Maillol, Jacques Lipchitz and George Rickey. Guest shows under The Collaborative bring contemporary Washington-area artists into the house.
