Founded by Duncan Phillips in 1921, The Phillips Collection exhibits more than 3,000 artworks based on American and European impressionists and modernists.
The museum is housed inside his Georgian Revival home which reflects intimate and elegant architecture. It is the first museum that began promoting the magnificence and significance of modern art. Works are exhibited in a unique manner where it seems that the artworks are conversing with each other. Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party,” along with works of Monet and Bonnard form the key highlights of the gallery. The museum also houses the impressionist masterpiece of the legendary Vincent Van Gough.
