  This museum was a nice surprise. The collection was much more than just contemporary. It has a variety of well known artists from the Old Masters to Rothko.

  Rated at 4 only because part of the collection is closed at the moment. Amazing, and free entry! Well worth a visit to see famous pieces of art

  One of my favorite museums in the Washington DC area. The cafe serves excellent coffee and food. The museum itself is worth the ~$10 entry fee. Renoir's 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' is obviously the highlight but there are other interesting works as well. A highly recommended place for sure. The location is very close to Dupont Circle. The museum is very easy to navigate, it has a nice gift shop and cafe for snacking. The staff were friendly and helpful.

  Didn't get to see as much as we would like of what looks to be a great museum. Reason was the time spent in the exhibit on Renoir's Luncheon of The Boating Party. The other paintings collected for the exhibit and their tie in and all the explanations were fascinating. Very well done.

  The Phillips Collection is one of about a dozen museums in Washington, DC that requires a paid ticket. At $12 for an adult ticket, it's worth your money. The Phillips Collection is the first modern art museum in the USA and that a lot is worth $12. It's located in the heart of Embassy Row in Dupont Circle so if you Metro to the museum, you'll enjoy a short walk surrounded by mansions, embassies, and historic row houses. Once you get to one of the greatest buildings of them all, you've arrived at The Phillips Collection. Once you get your ticket, you'll walk into a room that introduced the history of the museum. Just past the museum store, you'll go up a beautiful winding staircase (there are elevators too) to the second and third floors filled with Renoir, Rothko, and reading nooks.
