If you're looking to view some art and willing to think outside the box, then the Phillips Collection is totally worth the price. Not only does this museum house some beautiful, classic pieces from artists like Manet and Renoir, but it features more contemporary, unknown artists with very unique pieces. Some of the art may require you to really open your mind, but why not? Phillips After 5 is also a nice event to check out on Thursdays when you get out of work but want to break away from the standard happy hour routine. Try something like wine or bourbon from featured sellers of that night, nosh on some hors d'oeurves, and just take your time soaking in the creativity. Your brain will thank you.
