Luncheon of the Boating Party, Pierre-Auguste Renoir
The Phillips Collection bills itself as America’s first museum of modern art. It dates back to 1921 when it opened as the Phillips Memorial Gallery. Much of the collection was acquired by Duncan Phillips, a Washington D.C. collector and philanthropist who passed away in 1966. The museum is housed in what was Phillips’ home, an 1897 Georgian Revival house that has had several additions.

I worked in Washington DC for 5 years, just 6 six blocks from this Phillips Collection, and I’m embarrassed to say I never knew it was there. Thanks for highlighting a real gem.
