The Kreeger Museum

About The Kreeger Museum

The Kreeger Museum occupies the former home of collectors David and Carmen Kreeger, a 1967 travertine-clad building designed by Philip Johnson and Richard Foster in the residential Foxhall neighborhood of Northwest DC. The museum's collection spans Impressionist and modern art, including works by Monet, Picasso, and Miró, alongside African and Asian art and a sculpture garden. The museum is open to the public and operating on a regular schedule, with walk-in tickets available, though advance reservations are recommended, especially for larger groups. It is a Blue Star Museum offering free admission to military members and their families. Because it sits outside the Metro network, visitors typically drive or take a bus route to reach the museum; the site has limited two-hour parking on-site.
