Heurich Happenings
On Friday, August 2nd from 5:00 - 8:00 pm during First Friday Dupont, join us for Heurich (Open) House: Our Favorite Things! With thousands of incredible details to focus on, the Museum staff are always finding new favorite aspects of the historic Heurich home (built 1892-4)! We’ve chosen some favorite things and favorite stories to share with you!
On Friday, February 2nd from 5:00 - 8:00 pm during First Friday Dupont, join us for the first Heurich (Open) House of 2024 featuring work by graduate architecture students from George Washington University Corcoran School of the Arts & Design. Connect with the students, who together with the Heurich House Museum’s education and preservation teams, will challenge how we interpret and interact with design.
Museums protect, preserve, and interpret their collections for their communities and future generations. In a house museum like ours, the house itself is part of the collection. On Friday, August 25th from 4:00 - 8:00 pm, join our Collections Manager, Kim Totten, and CEO, Kim Bender for an open house and explore our newest acquisitions.
On Saturday, June 3rd from 12-2pm, join the Heurich House Museum and founder of local small business Zenit Journals, Alina Liao, for a wellness journaling workshop in the museum’s Castle Garden. Learn how journaling can be a tool to improve your mental health, explore the concept of memory and how you want to be remembered, and explore Amelia’s journals up close in our new exhibit, Working Title.
The Heurich House Museum will present its first new exhibit since 2018, which its education team developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working Title reframes the Heurich family home as a central juncture for the people who lived and worked there (1894-1956) - men and women, immigrant and natural-born, Black and white, rich and lower-income, examines how they interacted with each other every day, and questions why their histories have not always been given equal weight.
