We came here recently to see their Cosmopolitan Chicken Exhibition, where a suitably obsessed and crazy Belgian artist had put a lot of chicken themed pieces together, and had even gone so far as to breed his own chickens and stick them in the art gallery. " Daddy," said Soccerballgirl when we left " That was not a show - that was just some chickens in a cage" "Dad" said Thing 1 " did you see that picture of an exploding chicken - it was paint, and blood, and dirt, and eggshell and sand and chicken crap all mixed uptogether and it was awesome" " I'm hungry " said Thing 2 " Can we go and have lunch now?" Lovely gallery, great exhibit and a great spot to check out if you are in H-street.

Located on 14th St NW in the U Street neighborhood, it's a small gallery in a commercial building open Tuesday-Saturday 10AM-5PM. You can make an appointment or just walk in during those hours. Once they buzz you in, follow the sign to the elevator and take it up a floor or two. Once the elevator opens, you'll see the tall glass door inviting you into space. Before you explore, sign the guestbook, read about the gallery's history, and take a pin (for free!). As you wander through the gallery, you'll see it's really two main rooms and the exhibits change every few months. The exhibit I saw was very modern art forward with perfect lighting making it look good on Instagram. If you're in the area, stop by. It's free and will only take 10 minutes, but it's worth it!
