Beskrivelse
Join this experience of Washington DC's National Gallery of Art. You'll get a guided tour of its hugely impressive complex, and more.
Founded in 1937 by Andrew W Mellon, a wealthy philanthropist and patron of the arts. It consists of two buildings, the West and East Buildings. The neoclassical West Building was designed by John Russell Pope and is home to earlier collections including one of the most prestigious collections of Renaissance works anywhere in the world. Enjoy hearing about the life and legend of Da Vinci, Raphael, Titian and many others as you gaze at their beautiful masterpieces.
The East Building houses the vast collection of twentieth-century art, with pieces by Picasso, Rothko, Pollock and many legendary contributors to modern art. It also hosts contemporary exhibitions and immersive, interactive art experiences, print and photographic collections. It was opened in 1978 and is a much more modern edifice designed by I.M Pei the Chinese-born American architect who also designed the Louvre in Paris. The tranquil sculpture garden was opened in 1999 and is a lovely way to end your guided tour.
