There is always something new to discover at Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens in Washington DC. On view for the first time there, enjoy fashion and mementos from the legendary life of Princess Grace of Monaco in celebration of her dedicated relationship with haute couturier Christian Dior.


The special exhibition "Grace of Monaco: Princess in Dior" explores the longstanding collaboration between Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, and Marc Bohan, artistic director at Christian Dior, through clothing, accessories, photos, and more. On special loan from the Palace of Monaco, this exhibition originated at the Musée Dior in Granville, France. 

Like Kelly, Hillwood founder Marjorie Merriweather Post was a connoisseur, who carefully cultivated her image, choosing smart, elegant pieces, and apparel. Hillwood interprets 20th-century fashion through Post’s own collection of jewelry, accessories, and apparel which are also on view.
