Lovers of fine art have found a home at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Focusing primarily on American work, this branch of the Smithsonian features work from many eclectic artists through both permanent collections and rotating exhibits.
With over 7,000 artists represented here the American Art Museum is a like a master class on American artists, from contemporary masters such as the world renowned Christo to the quiet, understated elegance of Edward Hopper. There are also quite a few multimedia presentations, including films, sculpture, and other means of expression. Of course, the beauty and majesty extends beyond the art work housed here.
Be sure to visit the rooftop courtyard for an unbelievable view of the District!
