Many visitors who come to my city neglect to put the Library of Congress on their itinerary.
Big mistake!
To me, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington, DC. I like to go and sit on a bench and simply stare at the ceiling. Everywhere you look is beauty and inspiration.
And when you do go, take a moment to visit the Jefferson Library exhibit. It’s worth a short stroll to look at all of the titles.
I posted some pictures of a recent “Freedom Friday” date with Doug.
The National Gallery’s East Building here in DC is the guardian of over 1,000 Rothko works in 1986 when the Rothko Foundation gave the museum the bulk of the artist’s remaining estate. It's quite the treasure. It's worth a return trip because one never knows what will be on display.
Today Janelle and I took a day off to recharge our souls with art. This slice of heaven never disappoints!
I saw this image on a poster while waiting for the metro. It caught my attention and so I told Doug I wanted to go and see the exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery. We decided to make it a date and go to see it after church. Wow! were we in for a surprise.
One of the best parts of living in DC is the plethora of free museums. By living here I have the luxury of stopping by to see a small section of a collection vs wearing out my feet because I only have one day to see it all. The trick is planning, making room in my schedule, and not forgetting I have a treasure in my yard waiting for me to visit is.
What I didn't know was that every three years artists from around the country are invited to "investigate the art of portrayal". The scope of the work was breathtaking. You can take a look. The exhibits ends January 8, 2017. If you're in DC add this to your cultural 'to-do' list.
