The Phillips Collection

About The Phillips Collection

The Phillips Collection sits at 21st and Q Streets NW in Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood. Its complex is built around the 1897 Phillips House, the former home of founder Duncan Phillips, with the Goh Annex and the Sant Building added later. The galleries and spaces can be rented for private dinners and receptions, offering a boutique setting with access to the permanent collection. The Phillips House suits more intimate dinners and receptions. The Goh Annex and Sant Building offer a standing reception gallery, a larger auditorium with a reception area, and smaller seminar and workshop rooms, and an outdoor courtyard can be added to those rentals when weather allows. The Phillips House, Goh Annex and Sant Building are available when the museum is closed to the public, and some auditorium and meeting spaces can also be booked during public hours. The museum does not host dances, fundraisers or political gatherings. Its in-house audio-visual team can produce events, and clients must designate their own event producer to direct vendors on the day of the event.
