Kathryn JohnsonJuly 8, 2013The upstairs is currently closed in preparation for the museums move to GWU. The current exhibition on Asian weaving is excellent but very small.
Kristy LambApril 25, 2012Stunning! Be sure to check out the hands on exhibit on the upper level...it's great for all ages!
Jeff KursonisApril 14, 2012Watch the 30 min video on 3rd floor about the artisans in Japan who recreate the ancient silk kimonos - amazing!
Katelyn BlackJuly 29, 2010I liked the latest exhibition, but I felt it was rather small. I would've liked to seen more on display. The interactive center for kids was great!
