About Hillwood: Marjorie Merriweather Post was not only a pioneering businesswoman but also an engaged citizen, generous philanthropist, and distinguished collector. Acquiring Hillwood in 1955, she envisioned her home as a museum that would both inspire and educate the public. Nestled in northwest Washington, D.C., Hillwood boasts the most extensive collection of Russian imperial art outside Russia, a distinguished assortment of 18th-century French decorative art, and twenty-five acres of tranquil landscaped gardens and natural woodlands for public enjoyment. Since opening its doors as a public institution in 1977, Hillwood has captivated visitors with its multifaceted offering. From the intriguing life story of Marjorie Post to the meticulously preserved mansion and gardens, the allure of Hillwood eclipses even that of Fabergé eggs.
