Hirshhorn

Welcome to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian's museum of international modern and contemporary art. The Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is a leading voice for contemporary art and culture and provides a national platform for the art and artists of our time. We seek to share the transformative power of modern and contemporary art with audiences at all levels of awareness and understanding by creating meaningful, personal experiences in which art, artists, audiences and ideas converge. We enhance public understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through acquisitions, exhibitions, education and public programs, conservation and research.
