We visited the Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction exhibit. It had some very interesting items, but not much in the way of explaining how it was made or why.

You'll never see it all so select the pieces you most want to see, go there first, then savor the rest. Wished there was more info about art objects. If the museum curators know it, share it!!! The tunnel between the buildings is also a work of art. Museum store huge disappointment. No art supplies. WAY too much Frida Kahlo and not enough variety all around.

The East Building of the National Gallery of Art contains all the contemporary and modern art. It's much brighter and more spacious than the main building, and definitely worth a visit!

This museum is a stunning and valuable destination that should not be missed in Washington D.C. The staff, including agents and security guards, are friendly and eager to assist. While the cafe offers delicious food, be aware that the items may be pricey and it lacks visible pricing.

This is my favorite museum in the city! As a photographer and artist, I find it particular inspiring. Love it when my clients choose to have their engagement photos taken here - so much fun variety to work with, and no permit needed! Be sure not to miss the awesome tunnel that connects the east building to the west building - the Multiverse light sculpture is great for pictures! @emchastainphoto

I never wanted to leave, such beautiful art. They have a Van Gogh exhibit, Caravaggio, Monet, Degas, Warhol, etc. Ballet Class, by Degas, is on display, too. Their Baroque section is so pretty. If you schedule it ahead of time, you’ll be allowed to take a tour of their archive room, which is where the rest of the art is stored. I don’t remember if you have to pay for this additional tour, though. You should also stop by the other Smithsonian’s while you’re here, too. There is also a lunch cafe in the basement, the pesto chicken is good but it’s overpriced. There is a gift shop, too, but that is also heavily overpriced, unfortunately. The art is amazing and you can often see people there painting their own versions of the paintings. Be mindful and do not get in their way. Wonderful place if you can visit. There are plenty of areas exhibits in DC, such as Art Tech house and the museum of women in art and history, where Freida khalo is on display.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington DC houses one of the finest collections of paintings and sculptures in the world. On permanent display are works by Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Raphael, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Goya, Manet, Monet, Rodin, Degas and many more with over 140K artworks throughout. Plan your visit with plenty of time, most likely you’ll need to make subsequent visits to see and admire artwork and sculptures on both East and West wing. There’s a cafeteria on site and a a gift shop, they’re open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. One of the best museums around in the entire world!

It has an excellent collection of American art.The temporary exibitions are highly recommended.

It is funny to watch people walk right by a Leonardo DiVinci painting, but you should not let yourself be one of those people. Instead, as they walk by, get right up close to his portrait, see each strand of hair in the subject’s golden-tinged curls, and, if you are like me, understand, for the first time, why we all had to learn about him in school.

Another Gem you cannot pass up! If you love art of any kind it's there!

Nice exhibit. I liked the rooftop terrace too. The workers were rude at closing. Could have just informed us it was closing time but instead they herded us like sheep with rude words and tones, even as we were walking directly towards the exit. I also got yelled at for having my small backpack purse on 2 shoulders…. Nobody told me I wasn’t allowed to do that when I entered the building wearing it that way. How was I to know?

i love the stunning architecture of the east building. it’s a work of art itself.

Very helpful 'information' lady.
Spacious museum.
Very cool passage between the east and the west buildings.

Stunning extension of the National Gallery of Art connected via underground tunnel. Free entry and coat check everyday with the exception of Christmas and New Years, this place features hundreds of works of art and is constantly changing. The website offers an app that provides backstory for what you are viewing and there are also excellent docent guided tours throughout the day detailed on the website or on the board in the main foyer of the building. The East building has a cafe, espresso and gelato bar, and plenty of shopping opportunities for that particular souvenir you are seeking. Incredible place and national treasure!

Beautiful contemporary art collection, small enough to be a day trip without being overwhelming which we’ve found with the main National Gallery. Rothko exhibit on paper was exceptional!

Großartige Gallerie. August Macke, Cezanne, Marcoissis, Picasso, Kandinsky, Yves Tanguy und viele andere große Maler.
Auch Amerikanische Kunst wie z.B. von Steven Yazzie
Aber auch das Gebäude selbst ist beeindruckend. Statisch scheint es fast unmöglich! Ein großes Kompliment an die Statiker und Konstrukteure!
Es gibt einen Tunnel der beide Museen unter der Straße verbindet. Dort gibt es auch ein Laufband zu einem großen Café und ein Souvenir Shop.
Für mich eines der Top Highlights in Washington

C'est ma première visite dans ce musée, et je n'ai pas été déçu.
L'entrée, la visite, le vestiaire le tout est gratuit, ce qui est vraiment appréciable
Les collections sont superbes, pleines de surprises et variées, de l'Italie de la Renaissance aux artistes de nos jours.
A ne surtout pas rater.

Superbe Musée (gratuit) qui comporte une partie classique avec des œuvres majeures. Un tunnel magique vous amène vers le musée d'art contemporain qui permet de découvrir les artistes emblématiques de la seconde partie du 20ème siècle

Ce musée d'art est immense et très intéressant. C'est un plaisir de déambuler parmi les oeuvres classiques et modernes. Des cours rafraichissantes permettent de s'évader de la chaleur de Washington en aout et la partie moderne est très agréable à visiter. De plus, les oeuvres sont superbes.

Une très belle architecture intérieur avec un jardin et la surprise de découvrir un Monet.
