Glenstone Museum in Potomac is a place that seamlessly integrates art, architecture, and nature into a serene and contemplative environment– and it’s right here in Montgomery County (and always free). Glenstone is offering educators early access to schedule a visit during Educator Appreciation Week, May 8-11.
“We ❤️ educators! To show our appreciation for the teachers in our community, Glenstone is offering classroom educators and their guests early access to schedule a visit during Educator Appreciation Week, May 8-11. Relax, wander, and take a moment to connect with art, architecture, and nature alongside loved ones.
To participate in Educator Appreciation Week, classroom educators can schedule up to four tickets at glst.one/educator. Sign up is available through April 25.”
Glenstone opened in 2006 (and grew to what it is today in 2018). It is open Thursday-Sunday 10am-5pm. Admission is always free, but Glenstone asks that its guests reserve a visit in advance online.
Per Glenstone: Guided by the personal vision of its founders, Glenstone assembles post-World War II artworks of the highest quality that trace the greatest historical shifts in the way we experience and understand art of the 20th and 21st centuries. These works are presented in a series of refined indoor and outdoor spaces designed to facilitate meaningful encounters for our visitors.
We envision Glenstone not only as a place, but a state of mind created by the energy of architecture, the power of art, and the restorative qualities of nature. At the core of the museum is a collection of post-World War II art, a very personal project driven by the pursuit of iconic works that have changed the way we think about the art of our time.
The name “Glenstone” derives from two local sources: Glen Road, where the property line begins, and a type of carderock stone indigenous to the area, which is still extracted from several nearby quarries. We hope that Glenstone will always be a destination for all who seek meaningful encounters with art, architecture, and nature—for many years to come.
