Glenstone Museum Visit

Loading Events

Join us for a visit to the world-class Glenstone Museum in nearby Potomac on Saturday, October 14th at 10:00 a.m. Glenstone, with 64,000 sq. ft. of gallery space on 300 natively landscaped acres, is the largest private contemporary art gallery in the U.S.  

Glenstone features a series of indoor and outdoor spaces that showcase post-World War II artworks that will challenge visitors to think deeply while also providing a global perspective on seminal art from the past 70 years. The museum features: The Gallery a 9,000 sq. ft. exhibit space; The Pavilions housing 13 gallery spaces totaling 50,000 sq. ft.; and a recently added 4,000 sq. ft. custom building for a new Richard Serra piece titled, “Four Rounds: Equal Weight, Unequal Measure”. 

The meticulously landscaped grounds host 10 large-scale sculptures. The pieces by Richard Serra, Andy Goldsworthy, Tony Smith, Ellsworth Kelly, Michael Heizer, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller, Charles Ray, Robert Gober, and Jeff Koons are spread out across meadows, woodlands, and three ponds on several paths and rugged trails.  

There are no amenities along these trails, and the walk may be strenuous. Dress appropriately and be prepared to walk outdoor trails to the gallery spaces. Some mobility accommodation may be available if requested in advance. Contact us at info@poolesvilleseniors.org if you need us to request accommodation.
