Hirshhorn Museum and Yayoi Kusama's Dots

When we visit my sister and brother-in-law in Washington DC they always come up with interesting things to see and do. This time is was a special exhibit at the Hirshhorn Art Museum. The museum has been collecting works by artist, Yayoi Kusama, since 1996. Two of them feature mirrors that make the small exhibit spaces appear to go on forever thus the names: Infinity Mirrored Room—My Heart Is Dancing into the Universe and Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field .  

This is a fun exhibit but you have to be fast when taking photos because each visitor is only allowed to be in the rooms for about 30 seconds. The exhibition is ending November 22, 2022 but I think the rooms may travel to other museums.

There are other exhibitions in the museum which focuses on late-twentieth-century and contemporary art. Most of the exhibits are temporary so there's always something new to see.

The museum is accessible.  Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field has a path that dead-ends without a turnaround so backing up is necessary. The path in Infinity Mirrored Room—My Heart Is Dancing into the Universe turns twice. It's easy to get  disoriented so pay attention to the docent who will show you a diagram of the exhibit you enter.

When visiting DC we park on one of the street around the National Mall. On most streets the fee is $2.00 an hour payable by credit card or phone app and and limited to three hours. The spaces are not marked with lines so RVs fees are the same as car fees. Museum  38.88889, -77.02301
