国立肖像馆印象

All of the museums in DC are first rate; this is my personal favorite. The museum is a well thought out mixture of classical art, civil war commenders and presidential portraits. This is a must see for DC. (I felt bad for Richards Nixon, his portrait was so small)

Yes, I probably didn't do it justice, but I had a free hour so I used it. After all, it's free admission. What drew me there in the first place was the desire to see the Steven Colbert Portrait (which is there for a limited time) which gave me a good laugh. It's hanging right between the Men's and Women's Restrooms. There is a lot to see here, I spent most of my hour in the Presidential Portrait Gallery which had some beautiful portraits of Presidents who served us. Well worth the short visit.

在专人的带领下,完全免费的行程,我们参观了这座容易让人忽略的博物馆,不但了解博物馆如何挑选人像作品,还发现这座建筑物本身其实非常精致,差点被拆掉. American Cool ,挑选美国最酷的一百人,很有看头.

This museum was recommended by my brother. It is very close to Chinatown which is where our hotel was. We took a nice walk about 4 blocks to the Museum and we had an amazing time . The building itself is an attraction. The art was amazing and I feel there is something for everyone. We spent several hours there and then went back the next day. There are free guided tours a couple times a day which was very informative.

A do-it-yourself class in American art history in and of itself and a great place to spend a rainy morning. The building is wonderful and there are great restaurants nearby.

The portraits are great but the history of the building and its use as the location of Lincoln's second inauguration ball make it a great place to visit.

Between visits, I always forget what a wonderful museum this is. By looking at the people who made history in our county, I learn more and more about it.

The exhibit spaces and rooms were perfect in their balance and access to the art work. I was especially taken by the large statue of a seated person with draped head positioned at the end of a hallway designed to look like a winter garden setting. Wonderful

You can see the portraits fairly quickly and move on to the paintings and La Farge window in the American Art museum. The best part of my visit was buying a fresh salad in the concession just off the courtyard and then enjoying the tranquillity of the covered courtyard with the reflecting pools.

The Portrait Gallery is, by definition, a both a historical and an artistic museum, that is the displays are at least as much about the subjects as about the works themselves, but some of the portraits are outstanding in as art in themselves. The collections -- mostly arranged by period and subject -- offer a range of perspectives on American history and society , The Gallery usually has a current display around some theme, like Civil War officers, or women scientists. A very nice outdoor cafe in warm weather.
