Smithsonian American Art Museum

The Art Museum

The Smithsonian American Art Museum has one of the largest and most inclusive collections of American art in the world. Its artworks reveal key aspects of America's rich artistic and cultural history from the colonial period to today.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum shares its housing with the National Portrait Gallery, another Smithsonian museum. Although the two museums' names have not changed, they are collectively known as the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture.
