Gallery Guide
The National Gallery of Art is divided into
two main buildings. The West Building, shown
here, features European paintings and sculptures
from the 13th to the 19th centuries, including
American works, a substantial Impressionist
collection, and Sculpture Gallery. The East
Building features modern art. An underground
concourse connects the two buildings.
