تأسست National Gallery of Art للأمة عام 1937 بموجب قرار من الكونغرس وبمنحة سخية من Andrew W. Mellon، وتمتد عبر ثلاثة أجزاء متصلة. يضم West Building (1941) الكلاسيكي الجديد ذو القبة، من تصميم John Russell Pope، روائع الفن الأوروبي والأمريكي من العصور الوسطى حتى أواخر القرن التاسع عشر، بما في ذلك لوحة Ginevra de' Benci للفنان Leonardo da Vinci — وهي اللوحة الوحيدة له في الأمريكتين — إلى جانب أعمال Raphael وVermeer وRembrandt وMonet وvan Gogh. أما East Building (1978) ذو الزوايا الحادة للمصمم I. M. Pei فيعرض الفن الحديث والمعاصر، ويتميز بمنحوتة متحركة ضخمة من إبداع Calder في بهوه وصالات برجية مخصصة لأعمال Calder وRothko. وعلى الجانب الآخر من 7th Street، تحيط حديقة Sculpture Garden، الممتدة على مساحة 6.1 فدان، بنافورة مركزية وتضم أعمالاً لكل من Louise Bourgeois وRoy Lichtenstein وغيرهما. الدخول مجاني منذ يوم الافتتاح.
