The Phillips Collection, Art museum in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C., United States
The Phillips Collection occupies a Georgian Revival building with modern extensions, housing over 5,000 works of American and European modern art.
Duncan Phillips and Marjorie Acker Phillips established this institution in 1921 as America's first museum dedicated to modern art after the deaths of Duncan's father and brother.
The museum arranges its galleries in unconventional ways, placing artworks from different periods and movements next to each other to create fresh interpretations.
The Phillips Collection welcomes visitors Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM at 1600 21st Street NW.
The institution maintains a satellite campus called Phillips@THEARC, extending its educational programs and art initiatives to additional Washington D.C. communities.
