Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Inside, the galleries present an unconventional spectrum of modern art, moving between painting, photography, video, and immersive, mind-teasing installations. Rotating collections typically take over the bottom and top floors, introducing quirky, digital, and interactive works alongside the permanent holdings. Standing apart from the Mall’s heavier tourist draws, it frequently offers a less crowded alternative within the Smithsonian complex for spending a few hours immersed in experimental media.
