Click on images below to enlarge:
The Kreeger Museum is in David and Carmen Kreeger's former home.  It's got 
an unusual design for a house, more "modern architecture" than it usually 
used in recently built houses.
A panorama of the large back patio, now used to display sculptures.
I thought the panorama came out badly so I took a panoramic video of the 
same space.  It's clearer.
The sunken courtyard with its fountain/pool adjacent to the patio.

Aristide Maillol's sculpture Pomona, cast.  I've seen another 
sculpture very much like it but I can't recall where.  I wish I could.
A sample panorama of a typical impressionist room in the museum.
This vertical panorama has three items worth noting.  I like Philip Wofford's 
painting Equinox which hangs above a grand, bronze staircase.  The 
railing (a.k.a. polished screen) by Edward Meshekoff also has a painterly 
look.  Finally, there's a light, floating Calder mobile at the bottom of the 
picture.
A panoramic video of the lovely, leafy, skylit, interior courtyard (if 
that's what one calls it).

Some paintings in this room have wonderful palettes.  This is a panorama.

Picasso's Artist & Model (a.k.a. The Painter as a Musketeer and 
His Model) feels more playful than I'm used to.
A panorama of the big Miro exhibit.

I recognized the scene in Pissaro's The Tuileries Garden.

A panorama of the sculpture garden.  Notice in the distance even the 
tennis-court-like thing is art.

We saw rows of English cottages near the intersection of Foxhall Rd. & 
Reservoir Rd.   Apologies for the blurring; this picture was taken from 
a moving bus.
