Smithsonian American Art Museum
The museum is a great place to bring your family and friends. Whether you have guests in town you need to entertain, or whether the kids are going bonkers after the first week of summer vacation begins, we have art, tours, and programs to please even the pickiest of your brood. Stop by for one of the scheduled programs below, take a tour of the collections, or just drop in with the wee ones and wander around until you find something that catches your eye. We won't pressure you to have fun, but we're pretty sure you will anyway!
