Extremely rich collection of arts of every epoch! Museum is huge, so you have to either select what particularly you would like to see, or be prepared to spend there the whole day (and even more probably).
Be aware that it has security control at the entrance, as most of museums in D.C.
It is also free of charge.
The museum shop is marvellous!
There is also couple of cafes inside.
If you enjoy looking at art, and are in DC, then by all means, you should visit this museum. It is completely free and has some beautiful art.
I was blown away by how many works of note were here and was thrilled to see them in person. Just make sure that whoever you bring understands not to cross the lines around the sculptures or touch the art - my small children had trouble with that, but the guards were all professional and courteous about it.
A wonderful free museum in Washington DC. I would recommend for art lovers and the enjoy architecture and fantastic building
We came food Jazz in the Park. It was a great experience. Get there early it will fill up.
I m not interested in arts but this museum had some interesting works
The architecture alone is amazing, and the art it contains is diverse and well presented. The central atrium is great for sitting and regrouping or stopping for a coffee.
Beautiful art pieces and sculptures... extensive collection... mostly European and American art though
My favourite museum in the national mall. It is laid out well and has an amazing collection. I highly recommend taking the tunnel from the east building to the west building. It is kind of out of the way so not many people know about it but it is very cool.
We went there for their Evenings at the Edge. We had a fabulous time.
Absolutely awe inspiring... more than I had hoped for.... and we are only 15% in to eat. We are going to lunch and returning afterwards!
Didn t spend as much time as I would have liked to but a brief run through was still an incredibly rewarding experience.
fantastic, i went to see the impressionist paintings and also enjoyed constable and turner paintings also
The National Gallery of Art is an amazing collection of art. The layout is such that you can find what you want to see, while also wander and see new things. There are two buildings, one with modern art and one with more traditional art. You can go between the two via a beautiful underground hallway. I think you could spend days in this museum. Luckily, like all Smithsonian museums, it's free... so you can come and go. We are lucky to have the Smithsonian museums. Highly recommend a stop at the National Gallery if you are in DC.

Very large museum with beautiful works of art .... and free!
A lot of famous paintings, including Picasso, are worth a look.
Love the collections here. There is always new uplifting masterpieces to see
Worth your time if you love art from all over the world
Beautiful, pristine museum. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the audio tours were very informative and interesting. Great collection.
Dazzling works of art. They have works by Vangoh and Monet. Without a doubt one of my favorite places. It's too big, you can easily spend the whole day in the gallery
Wonderful museum. The Impressionist works here are beautiful!
I enjoyed the tintoretto painting and drawings, however, the lighting didn't make it easy to see them from one point.
The building alone is a treat, but the collection inside is a true national treasure.
Boring for children but interesting for art critics
Loved it, free concerts are a double treat available!
Wonderful and important art pieces in sufficiently large spaces often with very comfortable seating, and all free. I could easily go often if I lived in DC. In NYC it would easily cost $25-$30 for the same.
Beautiful building with amazing artwork. I've always wanted to visit the national gallery and I am so glad that I finally made it here. You can go back again and again and still not take it all in. You will enjoy your visit.
Like American representative museums, their works are great. The flow of art history has been systematically organized and the works from the early works to the later works are exhibited evenly. Awesome.
Is a really good place to learn about people that make an impact in art.
I think a lot of families skip this museum because younger kids may get bored or may not understand. My kids did get bored after a while but the experience was too important to miss. Now they look back and pictures and understand how cool it was that they got to see such beautiful pieces of history.
Rude security staff and filthy, dated restrooms undermined the visit. I won t go back
Very chatty staff. I appreciate it is a dull job to watch a museum but I don t appreciate the talking when I m observing the works of art.
beautiful museum, well organized, with an exceptional collection from Giotto to the present day, painting, sculpture, installations ... absolutely not to be missed
Beautiful place!
All free, including the audio guides that help you understand the works on display!
FREE! And a beautiful DaVinci original lies inside. Even if you re not into art, come take a calming stroll in this place of beauty.
A superb museum that presents a collection of superb and varied European works. Rich in themes (Flemish painting, Italian Renaissance, Spanish baroque, French impressionism), he does not forget the USA and the presentation of the impressionism of American painters.
European painters are honored, such as Da Vinci, Monet, Rembrandt, Courbet ... As well as sculptors like Rodin.
An impressive museum and one of the most beautiful to see me!
Amazing building with beautiful pictures. One of my favorites galleries
outdated styling and uninteresting. worth the price, though.
Huge place which has a great number of paintings sculptures, and statues that you don't want to miss out.
In my opinion it is the best museum that I have visited and free
Don't miss the one and only Leonardo outside Europe.
Has some really nice sculptures and paintings. Lots of galleries to visit.
a must see if you are visiting DC. a great collection of paintings and sculptures. nice decoration during the holidays season. all floors are ADA accessible.
Loved it! The place is huge, and I got lost. Better get a map of the place and ask the front desk receptionist which paintings/artists you want to see. They allowed me to take pictures and the gift shop is pretty good too.
Wonderful time viewing so many pieces of Art. Kids enjoyed the painting hunt game and kept them occupied.
Many speak of the Louvre. Many say of the Hermitage. We should talk more often about this world wonder
One of, if not the best art museums in the United States! The building itself is a magnificently gorgeous piece of architecture! The curators have done a fantastic job acquiring stunning pieces to add to the collection. You'll find Van More
I'm a huge fan of history and art. The NGA has the ONLY LEONARD DIVINCHIE painting in the western hemisphere and so much more. It's free, and has so much to offer. I could spend days in there looking at all the art, going through their enormous library, checking out there out door sculpture garden and out door winter ice skating rink. Amazing place, don't miss it if your in downtown Washington dc
Nice museum It takes some time to appreciate it well.
An art lover's paradise... Beautiful paintings,well curated...
