A lesser known gem in the city- can't believe I've never been here before. Much smaller and more intimate than the massive NGA and the Smithsonian galleries (of course those are all still some of the best art museums one can visit imo and I love them dearly). Some really great pieces- some lovely works by Renoir, Cezanne, some lesser known American impressionists, and perhaps my favorite part of the museum- the Rothko room. Oh yeah and a really odd but fascinating room coated entirely in beeswax. You do have to pay to get in to this museum but it's easily worth it. I actually went ahead and splurged on a membership- just $48 dollars with an educator's discount- and I am sure I will go the minimum of 4 times to get my money's worth!
