NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, DC
One of my daughter’s favorites!

Established in 1937, it includes the West Building, which features paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, and the East Building, showcasing modern and contemporary art. The West Building displays works by artists like da Vinci, Rembrandt, and van Gogh, while the East Building, designed by I.M. Pei, focuses on artists such as Picasso, Pollock, and Warhol.
