Opened in a private home in 1921, The Phillips Collection is America's first museum of modern art, and it continues to be one of the world's favorite small museums. Duncan and Marjorie Phillips' unique vision and love of art is reflected in this magnificent collection of European and American works by such masters as El Greco, Manet, van Gogh, Degas, Gauguin, Cezanne, Renoir, Klee, and Rothko. This program documents the evolution of the collection, which is noted especially for its Impressionist and Postimpressionist paintings. "Everyone who loves early art loves The Phillips Collection and envies Washington for having it," says art critic Robert Hughes.
