The National Gallery of Art, which is found in Washington D.C. is one of the country’s art museums. It first started in 1937 as a joint resolution of the United States Congress along with its funds generated for construction, as well as a sizable art collection which was donated by Andrew W. Mellon.

Now, the collection of paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, medals, sculptures, and decorative art that can be found in the gallery can be traced back to the development of Western Art starting from the Middle Ages. A visit to the museum will also allow guests to see the only painting done by Leonardo da Vinci throughout the Americas as well as Alexander Calder’s creation of the largest mobile.

Aside from these, the museum also features the collection of work by Armand Hammer, Mel Bochner, Leo Villareal, Roxy Paine, and many others. As compared to the other art museums in the country, this art gallery has maintained a consistent free admission entry for all visitors no matter what their age is. The gallery is open from 10am until 5pm on Mondays to Saturdays and at 11am until 6pm on Sundays. Even though admission to the museum is free, visitors who have brought their National Gallery of Art discount coupon can still avail of a discount on their purchases.
