If you turn right, you&#8217;ll discover 19th-century French galleries with pieces by Monet, Renoir, C\u00e9zanne, and others. On the west side of the structure, look for &#8220;Ginevra de&#8217; Benci,&#8221; Leonardo da Vinci&#8217;s lone painting in the Americas, which has a secret surprise hidden behind it.<\/p>\n<p>A concourse-level tunnel runs beyond the bookshop to a bigger museum store and eating area beneath the East Building (the corridor is adorned with a light sculpture by Leo Villareal called &#8220;Multiverse&#8221;).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2.

National Museum of African Art<\/h3>\n<p>This collection of ancient African texts, costumes, weaponry, paintings, and sculptures was originally formed as a private institution before being absorbed into the Smithsonian in 1979 and transferred to the Mall in 1987. Late-19th-century carved figures from Benin, paintings by modern artists such as Gerard Sekoto, pottery, metalwork, and jewellery are all part of the present collection.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last few decades, the African art museum shifted to a more scientific focus, with less social activity. It included important historical writings from the past and present. The exhibitions have ranged from individual artists to comprehensive survey exhibits, and have included both internal and loaned pieces. Every year, the museum offers two to three temporary exhibitions as well as 10 special events.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery<\/h3>\n<p>The halls of these galleries on the Mall are filled with a wide variety of Asian art. A collection of about 25,000 pieces, including Chinese paintings, Japanese ink drawings, Buddhist sculptures, and Korean pottery, is housed within the Freer&#8217;s palazzo-style edifice. (From January 2016 through summer 2017, the Freer will be closed for renovations.) Iranian metalworks and Chinese bronzes are among the highlights of the Sackler Gallery&#8217;s collection.<\/p>\n<h3>8. National Museum of Women in the Arts<\/h3>\n<p>This museum, which opened in 1981, houses a comprehensive collection of female contributions to the arts spanning six centuries, from Flemish painter Clara Peeters through Frida Kahlo and Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Kreeger Museum<\/h3>\n<p>This beautiful museum, constructed by famous architect Philip Johnson and financed by collectors and philanthropists Carmen and David Lloyd Kreeger, features works by European Impressionists as well as current American painters. There are nine Monets on show, as well as pieces by Picasso and Mir\u00f3.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Renwick Gallery<\/h3>\n<p>The Renwick Gallery, located next to the White House in an 1874 red-brick edifice, exhibits American arts and crafts from the 19th century to the present. After major renovations, the gallery reopened with a brighter, fresher design and a new approach to curating.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, art is just enjoyable. All that is required of modern art is that you devote some time to it. Learn about it. See yourself in it, for better or worse. The procedure is enjoyable. Art educates us about ourselves and exposes who we are.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have a great time if you enjoy self-examination. If not, at least go to a handful of galleries. It&#8217;s worth a shot. Keep going if you don&#8217;t enjoy the show in a certain gallery. Go to a different gallery. It&#8217;s as if life is an &#8220;all you can eat&#8221; buffet.&nbsp; Art galleries are, too. You have complete control over the art you enjoy and wish to spend time with. Enjoy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-34457416\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
