This is by far my favorite of the Smithsonian Museum's. It's away from the mall and less patronized than the others. There's always something interesting and different on display.

Their map leads you straight to the goodies. Very funny Impressionists, nice landscapes, good Van Goghs. It's all here and the price is right.

The courtyard area was very relaxing. All of the sculptures and busts were very elegant. I would reccomend this museum.

Avante guarde in places, conservative in others. I am the type of person that drinks up art, it feeds my soul. So, I can not get over this museum. I want to visit every week, but my family finds it ho-hum. To each his/her own! oh yeah....once again, this DC beauty is FREE!
