Let There Be Light: 'The Panza Collection'

Also, they did a lot of drugs, which might account for the strange, intensely conceptual art on display at the Hirshhorn.

The Panza Collection (so called because it's all from the collection of a famous art-amasser named Panza) is only here through this week, and its pieces play with light, form and your mind in ways you won't expect.

One of the works, by Richard Long, consists of a wide strip of white rocks. You will want to walk on the rocks, jumping from one to the other like a child in an E. Nesbit novel. Do not walk on them. You WILL get in trouble.
