Suggestions for Art Museum near Washington

Steven A. • February 8, 2015Another great art museum not often frequented by tourists. A small but intriguing collection of African art and a nice gift shop as well.

Miguel d. • May 19, 2015Favorite. Sculpture garden and multi-level modern art museum in the heart of the mall; usually overlooked since few people can figure out the entrance. Worth the detour.

Gaurav B. • February 17, 2017I go there for the special exhibits but permanent collection is also quite good.

Sofía S. • August 24, 2013I like to go when it's rainy to avoid being bumped into along the garden path.

Feld G. • July 9, 2018Artsy and weird, fun and thought-provoking exhibits, friendly and interested staff. Small enough to spend 30 in, deep enough to spend much more!

Regi C. • May 19, 2017Amazing 😉 place. Full of energy. Don't miss it! And awesome 👏🏽 yoga classes!

Catherine • July 15, 2011Many of the classes offered through the Smithsonian are in classrooms here. Enter through the kiosk next to the Castle, this museum is underground, and for the most part peaceful and quiet.

Al C. • July 27, 2015Great art museum, heavily censored history museum. No mention of genocide, not much of warfare. There's a long ugly history of how the Smithsonian treats American Indians. Good food but overpriced.

Peter F. • May 29, 2022Interesting that when I was at the Bilbao Guggenheim last week they were also featuring A Marcel Duchamp exhibit. No it was Dubuffet, not Duchamp

David H. • March 20, 2010Check out the children's art gallery.

Rory N. • March 18, 2023No Cherry blossoms

Scott W. • July 14, 2018Horrible waste of time.
