Renwick Gallery 是 Smithsonian American Art Museum 專門展示當代工藝與裝飾藝術的分館，座落於 Lafayette Square，距離 White House 僅一個街區。建築由 James Renwick Jr. 於 1859 年為銀行家 William Wilson Corcoran 設計，採用他深受羅浮宮啟發的第二帝國風格打造，成為全美首幢專為藝術博物館而建的建築物；大門上方至今仍刻有「Dedicated to Art」（獻給藝術）的銘文，參議員 Charles Sumner 曾稱其為「美洲羅浮宮」。1962 年，在 Jacqueline Kennedy 的倡議發起下，建築免於被拆卸的命運，並於 1972 年作為 Smithsonian 工藝展館重新開放。館內樓高兩層，以 Grand Salon 為核心空間，展出美國創作者運用纖維、陶瓷、玻璃、金屬及木材打造的工藝作品。展館免費入場。請注意：該館現正進行展覽重新布展工程，將暫停對外開放至 2026 年 11 月 13 日，屆時將呈獻《手工：Renwick Gallery 當代工藝展》（Handwork: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery）。
