If you're visiting Washington, this is an easy museum to see. It's much smaller than the museums on the National Mall, but very kid friendly and accessible. It's a significant private collection and its most famous piece is Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party (Google it: if you're considering visiting an art museum at all, it'll probably be familiar to you). There are lots of friendly staff to talk with about the collection. There's a cafe, but there are lots of places to eat and drink in the surrounding Dupont Circle neighborhood. Visitors should be aware that, unlike the Smithsonian museums, this is a private institution and there's an admission charge.
