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.
Three special exhibitions will be on view: Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Remembering the Running Fence, and John Gossage: The Pond. Visit American Art's Luce Foundation Center, a study center and open storage facility that displays more than 3,300 objects from the permanent collection, for Art + Coffee. The program includes a tour or talk at 1:30 p.m.; complimentary coffee or tea is served until 3:30 p.m.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
