We start out outside the Museum, and talk out our quest to go into the museum and find something that Mark will like. (1:10)

Inside the donut, but not yet inside the museum, we talk about the round courtyard of the Hirschhorn, and the architecture. Then Julie tells how the Hirshorn came to be, and a little bit about modern art. (5:03)

We finally enter the building, talk about the first floor and head for the second floor, where we visit an exhibit called "The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image". (12:36)

We play Freaky Dreams by Andreas Hammer,which comes to us via the Podsafe Music Network. (17:41)

We continue around the second floor of the Hirshhorn and visit the modern and contemporary sculptures in that ring. Mark likes "Head of Sorrow". (21:21)

We play Four Ruffles and Flourishes and Flag Officers March, by the Marine Band. (26:26)

We get up to the third floor, which has a very modern, abstract collection. Julie puts some effort into defending Willem de Kooning. (26:59)

We play Defending the Paint by The Soft Drugs,which comes to us via the Podsafe Music Network. (32:10)

We finish up the third floor of the Museum, including a movie that reminds us of the old Mouse Trap Game. (35:10)
