National Gallery of Art

The National Gallery of Art is the nation’s art museum, welcoming all people to explore art, creativity, and our shared humanity. We are home to some of the world’s most iconic and important works. Through our renowned collection, special exhibitions, and public programming, the National
Gallery shares the ever-changing story of how art reflects our nation and world. 

The National Gallery of Art presents more than 4,000 free programs and events each year. Our tours, lectures, educational and family programs, films, concerts, and large-scale community events like Jazz in the Garden and National Gallery Nights welcome visitors to connect and engage with art.

The National Gallery of Art prioritizes visitor experience as a cornerstone of our mission to serve and reflect the nation. Our exhibitions, programs, and initiatives are informed by ongoing visitor research. We develop programming to reach many audiences—from local to national, in-person to
virtual, and seasoned art lovers to first-time museumgoers.
