Take this self-guided audio tour to explore the diversity of European and American Art, from the Middle Ages to the present day at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
The Museum was established in 1937 as a gift to the people with Andrew Mellon donating a huge art collection and money for museum construction. The permanent collection mostly consists of the works donated by American collectors and philanthropists, making the museum one of the greatest collections of art in the United States.
Located on the National Mall in Washington D.C., the two buildings of the National Gallery of Art and its Sculpture Garden form the center of arts and education. Imposing Neoclassical West Building houses classical paintings, photographs, sculptures, decorative items and other pieces of visual art. Here, you can marvel at the everlasting masterpieces such as Leonardo Da Vinci's Ginevra de Benci and hear the stories behind their creation. Meet Johannes Vermeer's Girl with the Red Hat or Vincent Van Gogh himself on his self-portrait. The Modernist-style East Building is about modern and contemporary artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jason Pollock, Andy Warhol and Alexander Calder.
