WELCOME BACK
Museum open Wed–Sun
Sculpture Garden open daily! Plan your visit

We missed you

Share your best Hirshhorn memories with #Hirshhorn. Let’s reunite and make more. Our Museum building is open, Wed-Sun, with a few twists — see what’s new!

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 Wednesday–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.

Up next

Events, workshops, and artist talks – in person and online.
