À quoi s'attendre

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.

Galerie nationale du portrait
Autrefois un hôpital de l'époque de la guerre civile, ce bâtiment a présenté des expositions d'art dès 1829.

D'autres portraits rappellent les grandes femmes et hommes qui ont façonné les États-Unis. Les portraits présidentiels, ainsi que ceux des premières dames, retracent une longue lignée de dirigeants célèbres. Des personnalités de la guerre civile, comme Grant et Sherman, rappellent une période plus mouvementée de l'histoire du pays. Un mélange éclectique de peintures et de photographies, ainsi que des daguerréotypes du XIXe siècle, rappellent les Robber Barons, les Suffragettes et divers autres individus à travers le passé court mais remarquable des États-Unis.

Avance rapide vers Georgia O'Keeffe et ses fleurs provocantes. Découvrez les photographies commandées par le gouvernement pendant la Grande Dépression ainsi que le curieux portrait de l'ancien président Obama.

Stephen was just great, knowledgeable and interesting, we were the only ones on the tour and it would have been nice to have an opportunity to go to some areas of greater interest. Well worth the money and just a beautiful museum, free as well.

Aside from having a cold, I had a great time with my guide Annamarie. She was very knowledgeable and kept our small group engaged. And I even learned a thing or two. Thanks again.
