Art Gallery East

The Smithsonian

 

( HomeWashington → Art West )

The West Building of the National Art Gallery was established in 1938, and is home to a very impressive range of paintings, and other art.  The contents of the West Building are largely the result of donations from a number of benefactors, and the West Building is considered to have one of the finest collections of Western art in the world.  The contents of the West Building are generally much older than the contents of the East Building.
