Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Phillips Collection, the exhibition will be held over through Memorial Day, Monday, May 30. In an effort to accommodate as many visitors as possible, the following changes have been made to our hours of operation: Saturday, May 28: We will remain open until 9:00pm Monday, May 30: The museum will be OPEN from 10:00am-5:00pm Duncan Phillips (1886–1966) opened The Phillips Collection in his family’s Georgian revival home near Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C., in 1921. Phillips was an early champion of modern art a decade before the founding of the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1929. Phillips’s collecting was motivated by a deeply felt personal experience with art and was informed by a lifetime of committed research and study. He opened his museum to the public with the sole mission of providing, in his words, “a joy-giving, life-enhancing influence, assisting people to see beautifully."
