Hump Day Culture: The Phillips Collection

The Phillips Collection is a DC favorite -- and sometimes it's a treat to combine museum visits with some healthy mingling.  The Phillips After 5 monthly events have been going strong (and selling out) for years. The museum just announced extended hours on Thursdays, so you now have an extra 3.5 hours (until 8:30 p.m.) to peruse the offerings. Now through February 10, you can check out(IN)balance, the first major U.S. presentation of Xavier Veilhan's work, which ranges from sculpture to painting. 

Phillips Collection, 1600 21st Street NW; 202-387-2151.
