If you feel like a seeing an art museum but don't want to go to one
of the bigger, better-known museums in DC, consider the Phillips
Collection, which happens to be about four blocks from the Hilton.
They have a fairly nice permanent collection of modern American art,
and the current special exhibition is a joint show for Alexander
Calder and Joan Miró.
<http://www.phillipscollection.org/html/exhibits.html>
Admission for the special exhibition is pricey ($13), but if you are
a fan of either Calder or Miró, it is probably quite worth it.
(Admission to the general collection is free during the week.)
I have loved Calder since I was a child, and this collection has some
really playful pieces from the 30's and 40's. The rooms are arranged
in similar themes shared by Calder and Miró (who were life-long
friends), so there is a nice balance between sculpture and paintings.
This is the best Calder exhibit I have seen.
