Suggestions for Art Museum near Washington

esbee • May 9, 2016Great, free, modern art museum near the White House.

Puck P. • October 14, 2014Love this museum specially the modern part. One of the better art museum in the city.

Ab • July 5, 2015Expansive. Go for the guided tour app. Wish more of the pieces had narration

Camille W. • August 9, 2015Very cool art museum with lots of rotating and permanent exhibits. Good but overpriced food in the café.

Crescentrating Halal Friendly Travel • March 27, 2012The American Art Museum of the Smithsonian Institution features an exclusive compilation of the largest collection of American Art.

Sarah K. • March 2, 2013Can't complain about the food! Nice selection of international cuisine (and more "American" things). Great for a brunch or lunch in a nice space, thought it could very well be loud when busy.

What's Good Here • August 12, 2014Located near Dupont Circle in a neighborhood, this modern art museum is an oasis away from the crowds on the Mall. You can enjoy the fine selection of art without feeling rushed.

Brett p. • November 24, 2014A real treat. Absolutely incredible that this beautiful and surprisingly expansive garden park is tucked behind cramped but cozy rows of houses and shops

Holly K. • September 20, 2015Wonderful collection, helpful staff and an artistic gem not to be missed.

Jess Z. • August 12, 2012A great air-conditioned and daylit space for hot or lousy weather. Big marble bench/planters you can climb on and tables and chairs. A pricy but good cafe, and a sometimes-on splash fountain.

Lynda C. • October 28, 2013Small gallery, great murals, but the real draw is the history of the mansion.

Michael R. • May 1, 2013A hidden gem in the Nation's Capital.

Scott J. • February 15, 2015Nice size and not crowded. Building really nicely designed to show off the paintings and especially the sculptures outdoors.

Daniel L. • May 26, 2011The AU Museum is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 am to 4:00pm. Admission is Free!

John G. • August 29, 2017One of the most deceptively marvelous little museums in the entirety of D.C. Well worth the trip!

Mary R. • April 7, 2012Great history of video games exhibit.

Morgan H. • February 26, 2014This was an amazing experience! So much fun. Clive, Nate and Rubin went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable time. So stoked to bring our paintings home.

Design*Sponge • August 3, 2014A nonprofit art gallery that often shows some pretty spectacular local talent. Always worth a peek when you’re in Adams Morgan.

Nic G. • April 16, 2014Great place..and they donate space to noon profits for meetings and events!

NDevo • March 18, 2010Been to two fashion shows there: Luke's Wings and Pink Jams. It's great for cocktail receptions, not so great for events - difficult layout to work with.

Bill F. • October 4, 2010Visit www.fathomallery.org to sign up to receive invites for upcoming shows, opening parties and other interesting events.

Lisa M. • January 10, 2015Good school with nice and accommodative teachers! German becomes fun here!

Amy W. • February 4, 2011Gorgeous building and the museum is open and free! Second largest privately owned gallery in DC.

Kilian S. • April 19, 2012I've played the Truman Piano--it's no joy to play: the action is bad, it hasn't been tuned in years & the case needs attention. It's really a piece of historical furniture. Nice for the photo memory.

Hooman • September 8, 2018An awesome and unique place to experience art. It’d be a much better place once they add an air conditioning system and some bathrooms inside.

Aubri O. • July 10, 2014great space, great facility, and norm is a delight to work with :)

Beth S. • March 11, 2011great spot. check out the VOICES fundraiser, usually on the 2nd or 3rd thursday of the month. hillyer is doing great things.
