Description

Museum in Potomac, MD, that integrates art, architecture and landscape. All visitors welcome. Admission is always free. http://bit.ly/2wqKuT9 Glenstone Museum was established in 2006 on three fundamental elements: art, architecture and landscape. We pursue artworks of the highest quality from post-World War II artists and display theme in a serene and contemplative environment.

The museum is set on a 230-acre former foxhunting estate and includes exhibition space designed by the late architect Charles Gwathmey and outdoor sculpture tours. In 2018, Glenstone will open The Pavilions, a new building designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners and new landscape design designed by PEP Landscape Architecture. The building will more than quadruple Glenstone’s existing gallery space.

Admission to Glenstone is always free.

Our current exhibition surveys the work of #ronihorn, who installed the show herself in our galleries. Spanning a range of media, including photography, drawing, writing, and sculpture—like this piece, Pink Tons (2008), made of four and a half tons of cast optical glass—Roni’s practice is as diverse as it is distinctive. On view through Jan. 2018. Schedule your visit 👉 www.glenstone.org.
