National Gallery of Art!

The outside of the west wing of the museum

Last week I was in DC and I couldn't leave without paying a visit to the national gallery of Art. Unfortunately I was in a rush and could only visit the east wing of the museum. I took some photos while i was there but there is no flash allowed inside and some of the rooms were dimly lit and a few photos came out blurry. Try to enjoy them anyways!
