Hirshhorn Visit

It was quite breezy this morning and we hadn’t been away from home this week for a morning walk. We were hanging around the neighborhood park all week due to the cloudy, foggy, and rainy conditions. It was a brilliant blue sky today so we decided to take a ride in to town. We parked in our old Capitol Hill neighborhood and walked towards the house office buildings, through the botanical gardens, past the American Indian Museum, the Air and Space Museum and in to the Hirshhorn Museum. It was too late to get tickets for the exhibit, so we went in just to see what was new - and were rather disappointed. The entire second floor was under construction for a new exhibit or two. A lot of what was on the third floor didn’t seem like anything new - but it wasn’t very impressive either. I can’t remember any one thing that really was to our taste. Maybe that’s why we always prefer the National gallery of Art that has something for everyone. I’m certainly not an art expert of any kind but really don’t get a lot of what’s in there! Luckily we always have a lot of opportunities to visit and see the changing exhibits - as long as you don’t need a pass to get it in. On the lower level there is the gift shop and on this day there were activities for the kids. We are always happy to check things out - but this time we left is a bit underwhelmed.
