Suggestions for Museum near Washington

Ана Л. • February 17, 2017Between sections are little garden spots with fountains, ideal to make a stop and soak the atmosphere. One of the most beautiful museums in the 🌎.

Katie T. • September 30, 2017Excellent museum and a lot to take in. You will need at least 2 days to see everything.

Tom N. • December 23, 2016I have been going to Washington for 40 years and just visited for the first time. What a great place to visit with so many interesting exhibits! Definitely will go back again!

Mark B. • June 26, 2015Fantastic museum. Free to the public. Lots of oils, water colors and sculptures from lots of the Masters.Great collection in beautiful setting. Can be a maze so definitely take a map or the audio tour

L K. • January 28, 2017Magnificent collection of both modern art and portraits. The variety of styles, people, and stories makes for an excellent museum day.

The Traveler • March 18, 2019This museum is fantastic, kids will absolutely love it and adults too. Allow at minimum 2 hours to walk through and see the exhibits. And don’t forget there’s a line to get in so allow time for that

Pamela W. • November 2, 2018This place was awesome. Problem is you cannot get through the whole museum in one day. Plan to go at least 2 days. Too much to see and read.
