Where Fabulous Lives- Hillwood Museum and Garden

Where Fabulous Lives- Hillwood Museum and Garden 这是我去的地方，整个过程‘WOW’字不断，因我要赶回去接送小孩，只停了很短的时间，没看够，买了membership,准备再去。Marjorie Merriweather Post， the Post cereal empire 唯一的继承人和外交官的妻子。长住前苏联多年，收集无数的俄国/法国的皇家精品，她的瓷器都是每年只用一次的。数不过来的油画，她最后要请一CURATOR。我只能说。Wow, money and taste, all in one place。除了是个有名的艺术收藏家，她还是一精明的生意人，社交家，各国元首都都访问过她的家.到最后她觉得她的私人收藏应当属于'the country'.她的DC家包括私人收藏，全部送给the Smithsonian。除了一月，全年都开放。花园到春天以后特别漂亮。四月后去要预定。 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.
