Art surrounds you at the Hirshhorn. The museum's eye-catching, cylindrical architecture encompasses a spectacular center fountain and is home to the nation's premier collection of international modern and contemporary works of art. Open since 1974, the museum is named for Joseph H. Hirshhorn (1889-1981), a renowned collector, who donated more than 6,000 paintings and sculptures—one of the largest artistic bequests ever made to the Smithsonian Institution.
"Strange Bodies: Figurative Works From the Hirshhorn Collection" (closes in November)
"Anne Truit: Perception and Reflection" (Oct. 8, 2009- Jan. 3, 2010)
