Modernist Art

The Hirshhorn Museum in DC. Not to be missed if you're into modernist art and sculpture.

The building is circular in nature, and you need to effectively make two rounds of each floor: the inside ring for the sculptures, and the outside for the paintings.

Building is a bit sterile and Soviet but you're there to see the art.

They own rights to the Peter Fischli and David Weiss video art "Der Kauf der Linge" (The Way Things Go.) It's a 30-minute Rube Goldberg machine. Try and get hold of a DVD of this. Also completely unforgettable.
