Where Fabulous Lives- Hillwood Museum and Garden

Where Fabulous Lives- Hillwood Museum and Garden 這是我去的地方，整個過程‘WOW’字不斷，因我要趕回去接送小孩，隻停了很短的時間，沒看夠，買了membership,準備再去。Marjorie Merriweather Post， the Post cereal empire 唯一的繼承人和外交官的妻子。長住前蘇聯多年，收集無數的俄國/法國的皇家精品，她的瓷器都是每年隻用一次的。數不過來的油畫，她最後要請一CURATOR。我隻能說。Wow, money and taste, all in one place。除了是個有名的藝術收藏家，她還是一精明的生意人，社交家，各國元首都都訪問過她的家.到最後她覺得她的私人收藏應當屬於'the country'.她的DC家包括私人收藏，全部送給the Smithsonian。除了一月，全年都開放。花園到春天以後特別漂亮。四月後去要預定。 Founded by American collector and heiress to the Post cereal empire Marjorie Merriweather Post, Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens is one of the premier art collector's museums in the United States. The museum features the most comprehensive collection of Russian imperial art outside of Russia and a world-renowned collection of eighteenth-century French decorative art and furnishings. The collection includes Fabergé eggs, Russian porcelain, Russian Orthodox icons, Beauvais tapestries, and Sèvres porcelain. Encircled by woodlands, the twenty-five acre estate provides visitors a tranquil oasis of luscious formal gardens.
