Museum Highlight

The Renwick Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting American contemporary craft, celebrating makers taking both innovative and time-honored approaches to their work. The collection captures the aspirations, character, and imagination of the American people throughout three centuries, and is the home to one of the largest and most inclusive collections of American art in the world. The Renwick Gallery is located steps from The White House, in a row along with the Blair House and Lee House; this National Historic Landmark was designed by architect James Renwick Jr. in 1858 and was the first building in the United States built specifically to be an art museum.
