Mitchell eta Emily Wei Ralesek 2006an sortua, Glenstone museoak gerraosteko eta gaur egungo artearen 1.300 lan inguru biltzen ditu Washington erdialdetik 25 bat kilometro ipar-mendebaldera dauden belardi, baso eta erreketako 230 akretan. Gune nagusia Pavilions da, Thomas Phiferrek diseinatu eta 2018an amaitutako 204.000 oin karratuko eraikina; bertan, hormigoizko blokez eraikitako eta artista bakar bati eskainitako hamaika aretok zeru zabaleko 18.000 oin karratuko Water Court patioa inguratzen dute. Kanpoaldean, bidezidorrek Jeff Koons, Richard Serra, Andy Goldsworthy eta Felix Gonzalez-Torres artisten lan monumentaletatik zehar egiten dute sigi-saga, Peter Walkerren paisaia-diseinuarekin eta landatutako 8.000 zuhaitz berri ingururekin. Sarrera eta aparkalekua doakoak dira beti, baina ezinbestekoa da aldez aurretik ordua erreserbatzea —museoak egunean 600 bisitari ingurura mugatzen du sarrera, eta ez du onartzen 12 urtetik beherakorik.
