I wish we had more time. This is a place to truly take your time. One of my top 3 favorite DC museums along with Smithsonian National Museum of American History and the National Portrait Gallery.

Its stunning collection spans centuries and continents, showcasing masterpieces from renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet. The museum's elegant architecture and peaceful atmosphere provide the perfect setting for appreciating these timeless works of art. Whether you're a seasoned art lover or just curious, the National Gallery of Art offers an unforgettable cultural experience.

For art lovers, this is a must-go. It mainly depends upon you about the time it takes to move around. If you love arts more than yourself then even a day or month does not suffice otherwise just two hours or may be an hour is great.

The day I visited the National Gallery of Art was the first good day of weather on my trip. To be honest I desperately needed the loo, and entered the gallery to use their facilities. Had the weather been inclement, I would have stayed inside for hours. The few exhibits I saw were world class, so well worth a visit.

We visited an art museum in Washington DC for once and were amazed at the variety of art on display here. The old building and the rooms are beautifully designed with seating in the "fountain garden" between the rooms. There are 2 buildings. The modern art in the new building is also worth seeing. Large, bright rooms so that the works of art can be shown off to their best advantage. The buildings are connected by a tunnel, where there is also a cafe. We also liked the sculpture garden next to it. We can highly recommend this place. There is no other art museum that doesn't charge admission, so you can visit it briefly or several times.

Extraordinary experience. You could easily spend a week there if you’re into art. The works are skillfully presented not only by timeframe but also themewise. Turner, Rembrandt, Botticelli, Holbein and a myriad of other great artists.

Art isn't something I know a lot about, so I always like listening in when the workers/volunteers are talking about paintings. Very nice that they had a coat/bag check, so I didn't have to carry around all my gear. It was a last-minute stop during my day, and it was lovely just walking around looking at art.

Huge free museum of paintings. There are actually two museums. A huge classic and a smaller one made by pei dedicated to the 20th century. The two are connected by an underground passage. Obviously all the famous painters are there including the only Vinci present in the Americas and three Vermeers. Plan the day. Excellent restaurant which is a rarity in Washington museums. Only one regret: the museum is organized into dins and legacies which does not make the visit easy.

I loved the exhibits in this museum. I am a big fan of Italian renaissance art and was absolutely in awe to see some of the national treasures they had on display. We saw works by Botticelli, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci, which is the only place that you can see at da Vinci portrait in the United States. We took our four year year-old son, not recommended for small children. It’s a place where you like to sit and reflect and take in the art work that your viewing. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you are in the DC area. It is a treat and a privilege to see such classical masterpieces.

The National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is a beautiful garden behind the National Archives. It comprises of a beautiful fountain, tons of greenery, and of course, many sculptures. I highly recommend coming here to relax in the shade and enjoy nature.
