iDesigned 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.

Works from the 1850s onward: nine Monets, Renoir, Sisley and Pissarro, a career-spanning group of Picassos, plus Munch, Beckmann, Dubuffet, Kandinsky, Miro, Calder, Stella and Washington Color School painters.

Five and a half wooded acres of sculpture: Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Jean Arp, Aristide Maillol, Jacques Lipchitz, George Rickey and Foon Sham across the terrace, garden paths and reflecting pool.

Guest artist programme continuing the Kreegers' patronage of Washington-area artists, made with arts organisations across the city and often giving artists their first museum showing.

Rania Hassan's suspended installation of silk, linen, bamboo, copper and steel threads traces the museum staircase in intervals aligned to Philip Johnson's architecture.

The museum's 20th-century and contemporary holdings return to the lower level galleries, with works by Joan Mitchell, Milton Avery, Josef Albers and David Park.
