The Mouse House: Art from the Collection of Olga Hirshhorn
July 25, 2009 – October 18, 2009
Over the years, Olga Hirshhorn has acquired everything from Greek, African and pre-Columbian sculptures to paintings, prints and drawings by stellar 20th-century artists such as Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Georgia O’Keeffe, Louise Nevelson, Alexander Calder and many more. The art and artifacts have overfilled her diminutive Washington, D.C., home, which she calls the “Mouse House.” The exhibition recreates the intimate character of that dwelling and its collection with the nearly 200 works displayed everywhere, including the medicine cabinet. The exhibition is supported by the Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund.
