Cần Quan Tâm
National Portrait Gallery
Once a Civil War Era hospital, this building has featured art exhibits as early as 1829. Poet Walt Whitman tended to wounded soldiers here, commemorated by a portrait hanging here today in the National Portrait Gallery. Other portraits recall the great women and men who shaped the United States. Presidential portraits, as well as those of the first ladies, trace a long lineage of famous leaders. Civil War figures, like Grant and Sherman, recall a more turbulent time in the nation’s history. An eclectic mix of paintings and photographs, as well as 19th century daguerreotypes, recall the Robber Barons, the Suffragettes, and various other individuals throughout the US’s short but remarkable past. Within the American Art Museum, appreciate scenes by American artists like Mary Cassatt, who took part in the Impressionist movement. Fast-forward to Georgia O'Keeffe and her provocative flowers. Learn about the photographs commissioned by the government during the Great Depression as well as the curious portrait of former president Obama. Discover famous artists like Edward Hopper and David Hockney before moving on to more experimental and contemporary art that will need a bit of explaining to understand how this all fits into America’s very unique story.

5.00Annemarie was a very engaging tour guide and we not only were able to appreciate the various artworks, but learnt a heck of a lot of history as well in the process. This is a great tour to do if you want to learn some American history through art. Annemarie provided fascinating stories and history to go along with the art and we learnt so much and got so much out of the tour. In addition, the history of the building was fascinating and the beautiful courtyard a lovely space to visit/rest. Highly recommended!

5.00Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Tour guide Rebecca was awesome. She knew her history but it was not presented like the dry facts from history class. Lots of interesting stories about the artwork. Presidential portraits were the highlight. Highly recommend a tour to fully appreciate this wonderful museum.
Very knowledgeable guide

5.00Stephen was a superb tour guide and a joy to spend 2+ hours with. These two conjoining galleries are completely fantastic and historically relevant up until today. My personal favorite parts were the individual Presidential paintings, each having their own distinct style and flair. Stephen showed us many highights throughout both these extraordinary galleries. Great tour, rich and interesting. Highly recommend.
Interesting and very informative.
