Located on the National Mall within view of the US Capitol and the Washington Monument, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden welcomes more than 750,000 visitors a year, making it one of the most visited art museums in the country. Since the Hirshhorn opened its doors in 1974, we have become a gathering place for the creative community and a vital force in bringing international modern and contemporary art to the Nation's capitol.
A Washington landmark, the Hirshhorn's distinctive circular building on the Mall is the perfect location to host important social events. Enjoy a reception on the Plaza near our lighted fountain. Stroll through our gardens and exhibition galleries. On the third floor of the museum, the Lerner Room offers a spectacular view of the Washington skyline that guests can enjoy during a reception or while at dinner.
