The National Gallery of Art first opened its doors in 1941 as a museum devoted to the people of the United States of America. Mr Mellon believed that the nation deserved its own collection, open and free to the public. His gift financed the construction of the original (West) building, as well as the paintings and sculpture that formed the basis of the exceptional collection the Gallery boasts today. During the tour, your guide will help you to look deep into the story behind each picture and you’ll get to see the gallery’s most prized and adored works by world famous artists. Admire Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Turner and El Greco amongst many others and uncover hidden gems along the way. Your guide will fascinate and enthral you with all the details and you’ll gain a new perspective on art.
