Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden - circular building and outdoor sculptures

The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden on the National Mall is housed in a distinctive circular concrete building designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft and opened to the public in 1974. The museum’s grounds include an outdoor sculpture garden that displays modern and contemporary three-dimensional works in a landscaped setting. The institution is part of the Smithsonian Institution and its building and garden are documented examples of museum and outdoor-art installations in Washington, D.C.
