hillwood museum & gardens印象

If you only have a day or two in DC, this probably won't make your "must see" lust. But if you've already seen the monuments and Smithsonian, this is a great place to visit. You don't have to pay to see the gardens, which are beautiful in spring. The house is a world-class museum that also provides insight into what was considered the "modern" luxuries of mid-century America. Love the yellow kitchen!

Hillwood is a look into the past of a very rich woman with excellent taste. Exploring the mansion is interesting, but seeing the superb art collection is the main reason to visit--especially the huge "Boyar's Wedding" painting and the Faberge objets. I'd love to have Ms. Post's bedroom and blue dressing room.The gift shop is another good reason to visit!

Very pretty home owned by the daughter of Post cereal. The home sits 2 miles north of the National Zoo. The Mansion is filled with art/furniture from France and Russia. You must watch your children as many displays are open. The grounds have several gardens: rose, zen, tea etc. this was a beautiful place- we spent about 3 hours

Mrs. Post's estate is a beautiful home with contents almost beyond imagination, architecture, artwork, jewelry, tapestries, superlative artifacts... The home and collection is worth a visit several times a year because of the wonderful gardens that are different during each season of the year... The home has so many wonderful things therein that several visits are necessary to take it all in... If you have exquisite taste, like Mrs. Post did, visit...you'll be very glad you did... Do take the docent tour...so much to be learned and observed... Enjoy lunch in the café too......oh so nice...!! I can hardly wait to go back...!!

Was first introduced to Hillwood by a friend last Winter. Have returned 5 times...each time has been a bit different, always in a good way. The gardens are dormant in winter, but any other time...wow. Had lunch twice in the café and it was lovely. I joined and have made this the must-see for my guests.

The Hillwood Museum and Gardens is an extraordinary off the beaten path destination for visitors to DC! The museum was the home to Marjorie Merriweather Post a fascinating woman who collected an exquisite collection of both Russian imperial art as well as French decorative art and objects. She lived an extraordinary life, her sensibility is reflected in the collection and furnishings in her home.TAKE THE TOUR! My best pal and I delighted in the knowledge of our tour guide. We were treated to a glorious journey through the main house that informed us as to her life and her collections.The 25 acre grounds are lovely, the pet cemetery a highlight!The restaurant on the grounds is terrific! Great food and service! Make a reservation!It is an amazing destination!

Hillwood is place I keep recommending all of my friends. The Russian objects(silver, avant-garde porcelain figurine, porcelain,paintings, and many many more) is incredible. The Marjorie Post's estates reminds me the St.Petersburg's palaces.

This delightful house and its beautiful gardens should be on any D.C. visitor's to-do list!My husband and I received a wonderful private tour given by one of my friends who is a docent there. The house was aglow in the most spectacular Christmas decorations and the special Cartier jewelry exhibit was unbelievable!We had a delicious lunch in the museum restaurant - I highly recommend making that part of one's day there. And don't miss a visit to the gift shop...it is filled with so many unique and lovely items.

This is a nice cafe with very modest selection of snacks and small seating space compared to the grandeur and luxury of the museum. Outside area was not covered with umbrella's either on a sunny day. Good for a quick bite but I would not bet on it as a full lunch.

This was a wonderful place to visit on a cold, wintry day. This was the estate of the late Marjorie Merriweather Post. Hillwood is one of Washington, DC's best kept secrets. The late Mrs. Post collected magnificent Russian art including two Faberge eggs which are on display in her home. She also has beautiful paintings and French decorative arts. Although the mansion is full of magnificent furnishings, it was a home where she entertained. One can just imagine the fabulous dinners and balls she held in her home. It is a visit well worth its price. The gift shop also had very interesting things on sale. We were told that the gardens on the grounds are magnificent so a visit when the ground isn't covered with snow is highly recommended.
