A masterpiece showcase in Washington DC! 🎨

Come with me and explore the the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Guess what? The admission is free! Getting There : Public transport - the most cost-friendly way to get there. You can use the Metrorail system (WMATA) and get off at the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter station (Green/Yellow lines) or Judiciary Square station (Red line). Both stations are within walking distance of the museum. Tips for Visiting: 1. Pick up a map upon arrival to plan your itinerary. Highlight the exhibits or areas you're most interested in to make the most of your time. 2. Allow ample time. With numerous galleries and an extensive art collection, plan to spend a few hours or even a full day exploring the museum to fully appreciate its offerings. 3. Consider a guided tour.
