Artobus

Join us on a visit to Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, a decorative arts museum nestled in the hills of Northwest Washington, DC. It is the former residence of Marjorie Merriweather Post and is particularly known for its Romanov decorative arts collection, including two Fabergé eggs, and 18th- and 19th-century French art, as well as its formal gardens.
