The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden is an art museum affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. It was established in the 1960s to house the paintings and sculptures of collector Joseph Hirshhorn himself. Evolved into one of the top five modern art museums with texts, paintings, pictures, sculptures and digital images. 1. The main building with a unique circular appearance was designed and constructed by Gordon Bonshaft. In order to meet the theme of modern art, the building was required to design a unique temperament that matched the tone of modern art. The shape of the exterior and the fountain in the center of the building are one of the highlights of the museum. 2. Exhibits of modern art with great visual impact The museum exhibits, in addition to the modern and contemporary European and American art works collected by Hirschhorn since the 19th century, also includes highly visual violence aesthetics, performance art and other themed works, including Works by American abstract painter de Kooning and pop artist Andy Warhol. The various colored sculptures in the sculpture garden and the endless green are integrated into one, and each other is interesting.
