National Gallery of Art 于 1937 年经美国国会法案批准设立，由 Andrew W. Mellon 资助捐建，由彼此相连的三大区域组成。由 John Russell Pope 设计的新古典主义穹顶建筑 West Building（1941年）展出从中世纪至19世纪末的欧美艺术杰作，包括美洲境内唯一的 Leonardo da Vinci 油画作品《吉内薇拉·班琪》（Ginevra de' Benci），以及 Raphael、Vermeer、Rembrandt、Monet 和 van Gogh 等大师的名作。由 I. M. Pei 设计、棱角分明的 East Building（1978年）则聚焦现代与当代艺术，其中庭悬挂着一座巨大的 Calder 动态雕塑，塔楼展厅更专门呈现 Calder 与 Rothko 的作品。穿过 7th Street，占地6.1英亩的 Sculpture Garden 环绕着一座中央喷泉，散落陈列着 Louise Bourgeois、Roy Lichtenstein 等艺术家的雕塑。自开馆之日起，博物馆便一直免费向公众开放。
