Members Day Trip: Hillwood Estate and Kreeger Museum
Washington D.C. is home to many wonderful museums, large and small. BMA Members are invited to take part in a trip to our nation’s capital and enjoy a carefree day of art without having to worry about traffic or parking!
The tour will depart from the BMA at 7:45 a.m. for Hillwood Estate, Museum, and Gardens where travelers will tour the Estate’s exquisite formal gardens. These stunning, “garden rooms” at Hillwood, including a French parterre, an English garden, a rose garden, and many more, were designed to complement the Mansion’s interior spaces. Free time will also be available to explore the Museum’s collections of 18th Century French Decorative and Russian Imperial art. A three-course lunch will be served in the Hillwood café.
The group will then visit the Kreeger Museum, an incredible museum that blends art and architecture. The afternoon tour is an opportunity to experience Impressionist paintings by Picasso, Renoir, Pissarro, and Monet and as well as many other 20th century European and American artists. After the tour, time will be allowed for those who would like to visit the sculpture-filled gardens of the Museum.
