When I'm in Washington DC, I love visiting the Phillips Collection Museum. It's easy to reach (Metro to Dupont Circle Station) and not crowded during day time hours.
The Phillip's is small enough to feel intimate, yet it holds amazing works of art by Impressionist heavies like Cezanne, Van Gogh and Renoirs.
Expect to pay about eleven dollar to enter (students and seniors pay less) and prepare to get inspired.
For more information on the history and location of this wonderful private collection, please read the recently published article by National Public Radio found on the link enclosed below.
