Eero Saarinen: A Reputation for Innovation
October 20–November 30, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM
Embassy of Finland, 3301 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, District of Columbia 20008
This exhibition is a tribute to Saarinen’s short and brilliant career which was bookended in the Nation’s capital with two iconic buildings: the Smithsonian Gallery of Art, a museum of modern art on the Mall which remained unbuilt and the nation’s first jet airport, Dulles International Airport which was completed one year after his death.
The exhibition is open for public with free admission!
