Renwick Gallery 是 Smithsonian American Art Museum 专注于当代工艺与装饰艺术的分馆，位于 Lafayette Square，距白宫仅一街之隔。建筑由建筑师 James Renwick Jr. 于1859年为银行家 William Wilson Corcoran 操刀设计，采用其在卢浮宫深受触动的法兰西第二帝国风格，堪称美国历史上第一座专为艺术博物馆量身定制的建筑；大门上方至今仍镌刻着“献给艺术”（Dedicated to Art）的题铭，参议员 Charles Sumner 更曾盛赞其为“美洲卢浮宫”。在 Jacqueline Kennedy 于1962年带头奔走呼吁下，该建筑免遭拆除，并于1972年作为 Smithsonian 的工艺美术馆重新迎客。馆内两层展厅以宏伟的 Grand Salon 为中心，集中展示美国创作者在纤维、陶瓷、玻璃、金属及木工领域的杰作。展馆免费开放。请注意：为筹备展览“手工造物：Renwick Gallery 当代工艺展”（Handwork: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery）的陈列布展，该馆目前处于闭馆状态，预计于2026年11月13日重新向公众开放。
