TourS

Art can be a jumping off point into a whole world of expression and ideas. Each Hirshhorn tour is a conversation, rather than a lecture, and is led by enthusiastic Gallery Guides who are also artists and educators. Expect to encounter surprising new connections between you and the art and artists of our time. 


LEARN ABOUT SELF-GUIDED GROUP EXPERIENCES

HIRSHHORN EYE

Hirshhorn Eye (Hi for short) is a revolutionary in-gallery art guide that uses image recognition to scan art as you go, instantly unlocking exclusive artist videos and insider info. Connect with contemporary art like never before. Visit hi.si.edu on your personal device during your visit for a self-guided experience.
