We first started at the American History museum which is one of my favorites (read more about it here.)
After exploring some of my favorite exhibits (The Star Spangled Banner, Julia Childs Kitchen, The American Presidency etc.) we decided to go the National Gallery of Art.
This is one of my favorite places! The range of art that is housed here is truly amazing. But before we got to the art, I had to take Emily through what I like to call the "star tunnel."
Pretty cool. Right? I think so! After the tunnel we walked through the gorgeous courtyard to get to the galleries.
We saw one of my favorite sculptures by Degas "Little Dancer."
More Degas...
Then we wandered throughout the galleries.
It was the perfect day at the museum. If you're visiting DC I highly recommend stopping by the National Gallery of Art. It's definitely worth it!
I love this city & I will never get sick of being able to see these amazing galleries for free. Do you have a favorite museum?
Xo,
Emily
Aw I miss museums so much! What a gorgeous day too-- but I totally believe you that it was freezing out there. Thanks for sharing these photos Emily :)
