The Phillips Collection
Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C., United States
The Phillips Collection offers a welcome shift in scale from Washington’s monumental museums. Its roots in a Dupont Circle family home give the galleries a more personal atmosphere, well suited to spending time with Impressionist and modern art. The collection’s strengths include Renoir and Rothko, alongside changing exhibitions that reward return visits. Check current displays if a particular painting is essential to your plans, and combine the museum with an unhurried exploration of the surrounding neighbourhood.
