    The Hirshhorn Museum is easily one of my favorite modern art museums in Washington, DC. Every visit…read moreoffers something new to discover, and the museum itself is as impressive as many of the exhibits it houses. A few highlights from my visit: Beautiful, clean, and modern space that complements the artwork perfectly. The museum's unique multi-level circular layout makes it easy to navigate and explore. Every turn seems to reveal a new exhibit, installation, or piece of art that invites you to stop and reflect. A great mix of modern and contemporary works that appeal to both casual visitors and art enthusiasts. Clean, well-maintained facilities throughout the museum. Bathrooms are conveniently located on the lower level and easy to find. Free admission makes it an easy recommendation for anyone visiting the National Mall. One of my favorite aspects of the Hirshhorn is how immersive the experience feels. As you move through the circular galleries, each corner offers something different to see and experience. The museum encourages exploration, and it's easy to lose track of time wandering between exhibits. Overall, the Hirshhorn is a must-visit for anyone interested in modern and contemporary art. Between its striking architecture, thoughtfully curated exhibits, and welcoming atmosphere, it's a place I return to whenever I'm in DC.

    This is a pretty cool museum, but they REALLY overhyped the Basquiat x Banksy collaboration. There…read morewas one piece of Banksy art which was a take on a Basquiat piece. The Basquiat collection was also pretty sparse. Mr. Smithsonian should be ashamed. I hope he's looking up and reading this. The museum's upper floors are 2 concentric circles so I'd recommend doing 2 loops around to avoid missing anything. There were displays with videos, lights, paint, and other media. I enjoyed exploring. The sculpture garden was closed when I was there, so I was unable to see anything there. I also don't know what was on the ground floor besides the entrance and the cafe. Seemed like something else should have been there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's worth a visit for sure and I enjoyed my time. But I was drawn in by the false hype.

    This museum is positively breathtaking. I have been itching to get here for years to experience it…read morefor myself and I am so glad that I finally got here. I don't want to spoil things for those who haven't experienced it for themselves but what I will say is that I felt a range of emotions from sadness, to pain, to joy, to pride, and beyond. I am blessed beyond measure to come from such a beautiful, talented, resilient group of people! Be sure to grab some food at the café and stop at the gift shop. My only issue that we had was a few rude employees directing traffic for the exit. They pointed wordlessly and aggressively instead of taking the time to explain the process. I was trying to explain that my mom and aunt had limited mobility and asked the fastest/least strenuous way to get to rideshare pickup as i mentioned this was our first visit but I was shrugged off and told they could just walk the perimeter of the building. I ended up dropping a pin to change our pickup to the rear, but a little guidance for someone not from the area would have been appreciated! I did not dock points for this because I did not want to detract from the beautiful experience

    This was one of the best museums I've been to in a while and best of all, it was free. You could…read moretell they have really put a lot of thought int the exhibits and the building. The exhibits were very interesting and the layout of the museum was very beautiful and unique looking. I will say that I wish their Motown exhibit was a bit bigger, since both my husband and I are Motown fans and find its history interesting. They also have a cafe which was pretty good considering it was in a museum, although a bit on the pricier side. I ordered a slice of peach pie since it was peach season and it was very good. I would say it's one of the must-see museums in DC and I'm glad that I got a chance to go, since last time I was in DC they didn't have it.

The tour was at 6:30 pm in the daylight. When we got to the first exhibit, she said she didn't know where the lighting was or how it would look. When we asked about the GLOW experience, she said, "Oh, I guess it was false advertising." We left the tour and plan to go back later on our own when it's dark.

Since I live in northern Virginia, I have been able to take many tours of Arlington Cemetery by many companies, but this tour was completely unique. Brenda, our tour guide, did an amazing job of explaining the deep connection of Arlington Cemetery to World War I, the birth of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, why the Tomb is guarded, 24-7, General Robert Pershing, and it was all fantastic, but she also showed us the Gravesite of James Reese Europe, the African American pre-Jazz great who fought for and was injured with the Fighting 369th, nicknamed the Harlem Hellcats. Possible the most amazing story was that of fellow Fighting 369th member Henry Johnson who single handedly took on 20 German Fighters and won, saving the life of his partner who had been injured. I highly recommend this tour, even if you have already gone on tours of Arlington Cemetery. It will show you a side of our military history that most tours miss!

This FREE walking…read moretour showed both of us all the highlights of the monuments and such and our tour guide was the best. He is a former school teacher and he is both engaging and informative. The walk lasts for 3.5 hours so I highly recommend sturdy shoes and perhaps a bottle of water. Tim (the guide) provides a snack along the way and hits up rest stops at appropriate times. It is a somewhat brisk walk at times but to cover everything we saw in the time period it was perfect and totally do-able! Even if you have lived in DC or the surrounding areas all your life, if you have not taken this tour, I highly recommend that you do!

The tour we did lasted 4hrs and we covered White House, Washington memorial, WWII war memorial, Vietnam memorial, London Memorial, and ended at Korean war memorial. Tim was informative, interactive, personable, and all those other good words for a tour guide. He made sure to meet everyone and even gave out snacks when our tummies started to growl. The tour i took started at 10am so it went through lunch meaning you need to eat a late breakfast or bring some sustenance along in case. Highly suggest some sunscreen and good walking shoes. The starting location is a bit tricky to find due to Pennsylvania avenue doing jumping locations so be sure to check your map before you go so you don't get lost before it even starts! This is a free walking tour yes but as for all such things, tips I'm sure are welcome. I happily gave $30 at the end and actually would have given more if I could have found a Chase ATM in DC.

We are local to the area and love history, spooky stories and corny jokes so for us this is a fun date :-). The tour began at the Old Stone House where we were checked in and divided into two groups of about 18 people each. Everyone in our group was from out of town except us and our amazing tour guide Sonia. She effortlessly led us from site to site while allowing time for questions and photos. She also made sure our group stayed together and safely crossed the streets. I was concerned that it would be hard to hear given the traffic and Saturday night usual cacophony that is Georgetown but that generally wasn't a problem. We didn't see any ghosts - DRAT! But we did have fun and learn some history along the way. We would recommend this tour company and this particular tour.
