Washington D.C. art galleries and museums are everywhere! One would expect there to be museums in the nation's capitol: the Smithsonian museums, the Holocaust Museum, American Indian Museum, Air & Space Museum, maybe even the National Gallery of Art. However, did you know that there is a thriving art community and local artists display their products in numerous galleries throughout the city. The largest collection of private art galleries is found in the Dupont Circle area, but Georgetown and Adams Morgan both have galleries worth exploring. Take a look at the art galleries and museums we are recommending below.
