The Smithsonian American Art Museum tells the stories of America through the visual arts, and its collection spans more than three centuries of artistic achievement that parallels the nation's cultural development. American Art captures the extraordinary creativity of our artists, whose works are windows on the American experience. Everyone can discover his or her own story on its walls.




Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
