A Washington DC art quest begins at the National Gallery of Art showcasing an extraordinary collection of American and European art. Modern art aficionados appreciate the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, National Gallery- East Wing and The Phillips Collection. The National Museum of African Art is the only art museum in the U.S. exhibiting only traditional arts of sub-Saharan Africa. The National Museum of Women in the Arts features works by over 400 women artists from 28 countries. The Corcoran Gallery of Art is Washington’s oldest art museum. There are many more smaller art museums and hundreds of commercial and non-profit art galleries, around trendy Dupont Circle, Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria, catering to every taste and budget.

Performing arts take center stage in Washington DC. Spend an evening at John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center with top national and international theatre, dance, concerts and children’s programs in six grand theatres. Take in an afternoon matinee at historic Ford’s Theatre. Laugh at foibles of politics at Capitol Steps. Catch a Broadway touring production at the National Theatre or a classic at the Shakespeare Theatre. There’s a performance in the wings in Washington DC every night.
