The Work Behind the Work

Step inside Studio Hirshhorn, the series of short videos that reveal how artists prepare for exhibitions at the national museum of modern and contemporary art.

Meet OSGEMEOS in their São Paulo, Brazil, studio as they prep for their largest US museum survey. Tour their model of our circular galleries. Hear their first impressions of our unusual building—hint: it’s out of this world—as well as their thoughts on music, murals, imagination, and more.  

Stream all nine episodes.

Campus Transformation

In order to fulfill our mission as the national museum of modern and contemporary art, we are revitalizing our spaces.
