This fall, the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden will reopen to the public after the largest revitalization project in the museum’s fifty-year history. Designed by artist and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto, the newly reimagined Sculpture Garden will fit the expanding creative ambitions of modern and contemporary artists while supporting the Hirshhorn’s beloved Modernist collections.

Join curator Anne Reeve, sculpture conservator Anouk Verbeek, and horticulturalist Sarah Tietbohl for a behind-the-scenes peek at this project. Panelists will offer unique perspectives on the history of the Hirshhorn’s collection, conservation, and outdoor public art in conversation with the environment.

ASL interpretation and live captioning will be available both in person and on the livestream video.
