When I was a kid, I used to visit every summer because it was free and I lived in the area. There were a couple of paintings I liked, but really I just thought it was boring. But this past year I watched a bunch of art history videos on YouTube, and for the first time I understood a little about the art I was looking at. The National Gallery really does have an exceptional collection of important art! I thought I would be done with it in an hour, at most two, like every other time I had ever been there. Instead, my wife and I are there all afternoon, and we went back another day for four more hours because we hadn't yet seen everything we were excited to see. Biggest surprise of our trip to DC!
