The National Gallery of Art one of DC’s many free art galleries and museums! They are open daily from 10am-5pm. Admission is always free! The National Gallery of Art is a world-renowned art museum located in Washington, D.C. It is comprised of two buildings: the West Building and the East Building. The West Building, designed by architect John Russell Pope, opened in 1941 and houses a collection of European paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 1800s, including works by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Rembrandt. The East Building, designed by architect I.M. Pei, opened in 1978 and focuses on modern and contemporary art, with works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Jackson Pollock.

The museum is renowned for its extensive collection, diverse exhibitions, and educational programs for visitors of all ages. The National Gallery of Art is an important cultural institution, attracting millions of visitors each year, and has become a must-visit destination for art lovers and visitors to Washington, D.C.

I highly recommend the Gallery of Art as one of DC’s best indoor engagement session locations!
