The National Gallery of Art, located in Washington DC, is one of the United States' most significant cultural institutions. Situated on the National Mall, the museum offers free public access to an extensive collection of European and American art. The collection spans from the Middle Ages to the present day, offering a comprehensive look at the historical progression of art. The National Gallery of Art comprises two main buildings: the West Building and the East Building. The West Building, designed by John Russell Pope, houses the gallery's collection of European paintings and sculpture from the medieval period through the 19th century. The East Building, designed by I.M. Pei, features modern and contemporary art. In addition to these two buildings, the National Gallery also maintains a Sculpture Garden. Established through a joint resolution of Congress in 1937, the museum was initially funded by a donation from financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. The building was constructed in a neoclassical style, designed to resonate with the surrounding architectural landscape of the National Mall. The gallery's mission is to serve the nation by preserving, collecting, exhibiting, and fostering an understanding of works of art at the highest possible museum and scholarly standards. The museum has been instrumental in preserving and restoring artworks, with a conservation laboratory dedicated to the scientific examination, study, and treatment of the works in its collection. The National Gallery of Art also engages in research, educational programs, and public events to foster a broader understanding and appreciation of art. The National Gallery of Art thus represents a vital part of the American cultural landscape, embodying a commitment to the preservation and education of art.
