国家艺廊

建筑古典，希腊式，进门就是一条长廊，西班牙庭院式，展厅都在两侧，依次看过去就行，导览清楚。印象派画作是亮点，收藏了梵高自画像，塞尚等人的著名作品。印象派展厅也是全馆最拥挤的地方。门票免费

如果你是艺术爱好者,那不要错过这家博物馆,即便你不是,你也会惊讶地发现你所能认出的这些作品居然就是真迹,而真迹比你想象得美多了。孩子可能会觉得有点儿无聊,不过这里的历史和存放这些画作的美丽建筑让人感到棒极了。我真的很喜欢这家免费博物馆。

真的非常享受浏览这些画作和雕塑——员工非常乐于帮忙。在这里至少值得呆一天,或者可以看“西方顶级建筑”("West Building Highlights")地图来欣赏一些高级收藏。

我在这里只参观了半天,这么短的时间没办法看到每样展品。东区大楼是当代现代艺术展。并没有很多展览,很容易可以逛完。他们正在四厅布置李奇登斯坦的展览。四个欧基弗的展品正在展出。这些作品都保存得很好。1-3厅在展出Jack-in-the-pulpit,是非常不错的抽象派作品。一定要在展览大楼间的行人道上好好遛遛,但不要只是走走停停。西楼还展出了很棒的印象派画展,但楼很大而且路径曲折,穿行其中不是那么容易。我喜欢德加雕塑作品的展览。我从来不知道他竟然还有雕塑作品!尽管如此我没看到任何青铜器。雕塑公园没有非常多景点,但是个不错的地方可以逛逛。

我并不是一个特别具有文艺气质的人,所以我其实是在参观完了其他旅游景点之后才来到这里观赏的。我在旺季的一个周五上午来到这个国家艺术美术馆,我参观了它的东西两侧配楼,感觉这里并不是特别人多。我从西侧开始,看的是许多雕塑,但马上我就决定赶紧去东侧去看一个时长2小时的现代艺术展。我认为这里的展品非常独具匠心,非常适合细细品鉴,要求有一定的思考和鉴赏能力。然后我们又再次认真细致地把东侧的展品又看了一遍,这次我们借助LED展板和大瀑布细细打量了这里。后来我们又去了西侧大楼。我后来看了看时间,感觉根本不够用,我担心不能完全看完这里的展览,于是我就借助展厅地图加快我的步伐,我快步走到前台询问服务员我看完全部展览需要多长时间。服务员为我详细介绍了这的艺术风格和不同时期不同年代的展品。我没有在博物馆里面的餐厅吃饭,因为这的食物看上去太辣了,我后来在第七大道吃了一顿非常美味的烧烤。然后吃完午餐以后我又回到博物馆继续我的观展。我向各位推荐这里,这里真的非常值得你们好好花时间来观赏。这的艺术亮点你绝对不容错过。在我的5小时观展过程中我真是腰酸腿痛。不过我真的学到超多东西!绝对不要错过!

这个博物馆未去之前已经是计划好一定要去的了，因为藏品很多，虽然也不少是复制品，当然馆藏上面没有标明，但好歹人家是免费的，还有很专业的讲解，不过貌似亚洲人听得比较入神。

This is well worth the visit. I love that they have so many places to stop and sit to rest and look over the art. I would recommend visiting this to anyone who loves art. The paintings are just incredible. I hope to be able to visit again.

I grew up in DC and I have been coming to the Smithsonian for decades. I love them all and have seen them all so many times I could never count. In all, I think this is my favorite place Let me just say that I am not a HUGE art guy. By that, I mean I am not a guy who owns great art or wallow in the whole art scene. I am a normal guy who LOVES football, summers in shorts and flip flops, and a beer with good friends That said, I find the National Gallery of art to be a sanctuary in the wild. I love to spend an hour or two strolling through the quiet galleries appreciating the masters. I never get tired of the impressionists and their use of color and light. I see something new every time I go. There is also a cafe and coffee shop. The food is overpriced but the quality is good so I will grab a bit of something from time to time and enjoy it. I really enjoy the Garden Cafe where I can grab a cup of tea or coffee and just sit and enjoy the sound of the small nearby fountain In the end, I am usually only good for about an hour or two of art before I overload and need to go, but that short time feeds my art soul until the next visit This is a must see

Garden Cafe was lovely for lunch and the National Gallery is always a treat for art lovers. Plan to spend at least half a day here.

Budget plenty of time to spend here.... loved seeing many master artisans.... Renoir, degas, Monet, daVinci, Picasso... take a free audio tour so that you can spend time where you want...

The National Gallery is a national treasure with a huge collection on display in comfortable, often uncrowded rooms--well, except for special exhibits which can be shoulder to shoulder. I find it easier to navigate with much more of interest (to me at least) than its Boston and NYC counterparts, the MFA and the Met. Unlike every other top-notch art museum I've visited, it's free of charge, as are its very fine film series, each focused on a country, a director, or an artist. There are almost always special exhibitions, some of them reflected in special menus in the lovely Garden Café--e.g. top notch Spanish food in a lunch buffet with an special exhibit of Spanish art and armor a few years ago.

Entrance into the museum is free. The artwork is amazing! Many famous works and you are able to get very close. Beautiful gift shop.

There are so many wonderful moments to enjoy in this treasure chest of a museum--from Dali's Last Supper to the American art galleries. Be sure to stop at the upside down waterfall between the two buildings and find the East and West garden courts in the old building. If you only have time for one building, wander through the old building. This art gallery rivals the collections of Europe. You can break up your visit with lunch in the cafeteria under the waterfall.

This is one of my favorite places for lunch on the Mall. The cafeteria is located in the tunnel between the East and West wings of the National Gallery. What makes it so special is the "waterfall" behind the glass wall. The food choices are good and prices are comparable to other places on the Mall. I find it a relaxing break on a day at the Smithsonian.

I had some time to kill and decided to walk though the Gallery of Art's West Wing. It was a little hot and stuffy in there at the time. However, it was very peaceful and tranquil as you gazed among the different pieces of art. There were some artists there painting a painting OF a painting ;-P That was cool to see. Loved the fact that there are couches in each room. It gives you an option to sit and take in an art piece. The map was a little difficult to follow as there are rooms inside of rooms inside of rooms. Not a place for children.
