This is beautiful - a museum, in my mind, should have a classical feel. The art, stained glass and dome are some of the things that add that look. Great museum and pics!
Hi Cindy. Now I'm stumped as well. I'm sure that's what the signage indicated, and yes, I was in D.C. to take these photos. These were all take n there.
I wonder what's more beautiful - the architecture or the art? I'm glad you included photos that capture the beauty of the building. I would love to take my kids to D.C. I went several times when I lived in the States and once with my South African husband - before we had kids. Thanks for always hosting a great hop!
Stunning art and architecture... we have a new museum that just opened. Waiting for the hype to die down a bit before we go visit and hopefully the crowd will be less :P
I am so late posting today. I thought I was going to skip this week entirely! The Smithonean gallery looks so interesting. I always try to visit at least one gallery when we travel. Have a wonderful week and thank you again for the link up.
