Spread between the east and west wing of the National Mall, connected by a beautiful underground tunnel, lies the National Art Museum. You can see exhibits right from the Renaissance period to the modern-day contemporary art displayed here. The national art museum is also home to Ginevra de Benci, the only Da Vinci painting in any American museum. You can see pieces by Monet, Degas, Rembrandt, El Greco, and Vermeer here.
This Gallery of Art has more than 30,000 Asian artworks, including Buddhist sculptures and Persian manuscripts. The National Museum of African Art displays thousands of objects representing the diverse artistic styles throughout the African continent, including sculptures, masks, costumes, household objects, and ceramics. Designated as one of the largest museums in North America, it has so much to spot that even one full day is short to explore the entire place.

Adorned with a limitless collection of displays the museum definitely is an incredible experience and undoubtedly a very sought out tourist destination in Washington D.C.
