Mexico City’s Casa Bosques Chocolate Debuts in D.C. at Hirshhorn Museum | Eater DC

"An iconic circular Smithsonian museum and sculpture garden on the National Mall that turned 50 last year dedicates its inner-circle galleries on the second floor from April 4 to January 3, 2027 to 35 new and recent paintings (and a single-channel video) by Adam Pendleton, marking the American abstractionist’s first solo exhibit in D.C. The exhibit opens to the public Friday, April 4, and the museum and its cafe stay open 2.5 hours later (until 8 p.m.) that night. Pendleton’s collections have previously appeared at MoMA and the Guggenheim in New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Tate Modern, London. The institution is also home to Auguste Rodin’s famed “The Burghers of Calais,” Yayoi Kusama’s infinity mirrors, and a current Basquiat x Banksy exhibit. The museum is among the group of Smithsonian institutions affected by a new executive order announced on Thursday, March 27 that aims to remove “anti-American ideology” across its 21 museums; this museum was not specifically named in that order, but several others were." - Tierney Plumb
