How Hirshhorn Museum Director Melissa Chiu Is Amplifying Artists’ Voices

Politics may feel like the main story coming out of Washington, D.C. these days, but the city’s art remains as vibrant as ever. The Hirshhorn Museum has long raised the bar for culture in the nation’s capital and this year celebrated its 50th anniversary, as well as the 10th anniversary under celebrated director Melissa Chiu. This legacy institution continues to evolve, with efforts like Studio Hirshorn, a video series and YouTube channel designed to demystify the museum by taking viewers behind the scenes.
