9.0Art Museum •Constitution Ave NW (4th St. NW), Washington
Mike C. • January 25, 2014The "Dying Gaul" as well as the Art of Byzantium exhibits are great. Being able to compare Italian and French art alone is totally worth the visit. Plus there are cool ties for sale in their store.
Jess Z. • August 12, 2012A great air-conditioned and daylit space for hot or lousy weather. Big marble bench/planters you can climb on and tables and chairs. A pricy but good cafe, and a sometimes-on splash fountain.
Rafael N. • August 5, 2018N.B.: the museum closes at 5, NOT 5:45. The latter is the closing time for the RESEARCH archives.

Greg D. • August 3, 2015The entry fee is worth it. Amazing place
Ting • February 25, 2016If u have to choose either this or the IMAX shows, no doubt this should be it. Free educational screening on stars and planets on selected mornings at 10.30am. Totally worth the ticket price. Amazing!
