The Phillips Collection is a private nonprofit museum in Washington, D.C., dedicated to modern and contemporary art with an international profile. Housed in a building that blends gallery space with the founder Duncan Phillips's family home, the collection features works by Renoir, Rothko, Bonnard, O’Keeffe, van Gogh, and Diebenkorn and continues to grow through selective acquisitions, including contemporary artists. The museum offers a program of scholarly and public activities, including the Center for the Study of Modern Art with conversations, symposia, and lectures, as well as concert and social programs such as Sunday Concerts and Phillips after 5. It runs an extensive educational outreach that serves thousands of students and teachers annually. Founded in 1921, it is America's first museum of modern art and is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC, as a private institution not part of the federal government.
