National Gallery of Art 於 1937 年經國會法案成立,為國家所共有,並由 Andrew W. Mellon 提供創立資助。美術館由三處相連空間組成:由 John Russell Pope 設計、飾有穹頂的新古典主義風格 West Building(1941年)收藏中世紀至19世紀末的歐美藝術傑作,其中包括美洲唯一一件 Leonardo da Vinci 畫作《Ginevra de' Benci》,以及 Raphael、Vermeer、Rembrandt、Monet 與 van Gogh 的經典之作;由 I. M. Pei 設計、線條銳利的 East Building(1978年)則專注於現代與當代藝術,中庭懸掛著 Calder 的大型動態雕塑,塔樓展廳亦特設專區呈獻 Calder 與 Rothko 的作品。跨過 7th Street,佔地 6.1 英畝的 Sculpture Garden 環繞中央噴泉而建,陳列著 Louise Bourgeois、Roy Lichtenstein 等名家的創作。美術館自開館首日起,始終維持免費入場。
