Washington Art Gallery - West Building

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.

The gallery is a very light and airy building

With plenty of interesting paintings!

The gallery is very elegant inside

Though perhaps not as popular with visitors as some of the other museums

Plenty of well-known artists are represented - this is a Monet
