The Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden is an integral part of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The garden was designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft and landscape architect Lester Collins, featuring a sunken garden that provides a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
In 2020, the garden was set to undergo a major redesign by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, aiming to enhance its accessibility and visitor experience.
The garden houses a variety of sculptures from renowned artists like Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Louise Bourgeois, showcasing a wide range of styles and periods.
Unlike many other attractions, the garden remains open to the public throughout the year, offering a different experience with each season.
The Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden is dedicated to modern and contemporary art, reflecting the museum's focus on post-World War II art movements.
As part of the Smithsonian Institution, the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden is free to the public, making art accessible to everyone.
