Art that responds, reflects, and asks you to ask questions
The Hirshhorn is the national museum of modern and contemporary art, exploring the art and ideas of our time. We’re committed to sharing the power of art—to bring people together, to offer inspiration, to respond to history in real time—with everyone, for free.
Our building is open Thursday–Sunday (10 am–5:30 pm), and our outdoor sculpture garden is open daily (10 am–4:30 pm). Plan your visit.
But the Hirshhorn is more than just a destination. Our conversations with today’s artists are recorded and available on our YouTube.
