This national art museum, along with its attached Sculpture Garden, is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts, students, and tourists alike.

Situated on the National Mall, between 3rd and 9th Streets, at Constitution Avenue NW, this museum is easily accessible and open to the public free of charge.

Privately established in 1937 for the American people by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, the National Gallery of Art remains a beacon of artistic excellence today.

Andrew W. Mellon’s generous donation of a substantial art collection and funds for construction paved the way for the museum’s creation.

The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, and many other notable art patrons.

With its diverse range of paintings, sculptures, and artifacts, the National Gallery of Art is a testament to the beauty and power of art.
