The Phillips Collection, America’s first museum of modern art, was founded in 1921. Located in the heart of the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood, in Washington, DC, the museum is home to a growing, world-class collection of nearly 5,000 works of modern and contemporary art. Housed in Duncan Phillips’s family home and additions to it, the museum organizes internationally acclaimed exhibitions, offers lively programming, and conducts important scholarly research on the history of art. Phillips referred to the museum as an “experiment station,” and today it retains the founder’s personal stamp in a gathering of art that combines tradition and daring. One of the great pleasures of the Phillips is the unconventional way in which works by artists of different nationalities, periods, and styles coexist side-by-side in visual conversations within its galleries.
