Yes, we’re spoiled with free museums in Washington, but that doesn’t mean this weekend’s
Art Museum Day isn’t worth celebrating. Saturday, May 18, area institutions such as
the Phillips Collection, the Corcoran, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and
the Hillwood Estate are opening their doors with special deals on admission. The details:
