This place is awfully hard to describe. In gist, it's an immersive and interactive museum based in fantasy. You'll be immersed in art installations, videos, music, and "extended reality" (yup, that's from off their website). Part museum, part semi-escape room (think secret passages and portals to magical worlds) it's an extremely unique not-to-miss experience.
Millicent was a wealthy heiress and socialite who moved to Taos in 1947 and started collecting southwestern art. Her home has been converted to a museum which now houses a large collection of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo-American art, with a specific emphasis on northern New Mexico and Taos, New Mexico pieces.
Georgia O'Keefe was from New York but fell in love with New Mexico and did most of her painting here. This is the best museum of her work anywhere - right off the main plaza and a must see in Santa Fe.
The National Gallery of Oslo has a huge collection of art, including many of Edvard Munch's best known paintings (including The Scream). You can also find the works of Gauguin, Claudel, Picasso, El Greco, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Matisse, Cézanne, and Monet. Temporarily closed for relocation.
12 murals decorate the houses along Rossville Street near Free Derry Corner. Referred to as the People's Gallery they are the work of 'the Bogside Artists', three men who lived through the worst of the Troubles in Bogside. Painted between 1997 - 2001 they commemorate key events during the Troubles: Bloody Sunday, the Battle of the Bogside, Operation Motorman, and the 1981 hunger strike.
Set on 5th Avenue's Museum Mile, this art gallery is housed in a beaux-arts mansion. It hosts art of Vermeer, Titian, El Greco, Van Dyck and Rembrandt.
An art museum in a beautiful Washington townhouse, the Philips collection has an impressive permanent collection and typically good rotating exhibitions. Be sure to see Renior's Luncheon of the Boating Party, as well as works by El Greco, Matisse, van Gogh, O'Keeffe, and more.
The Renwick Gallery is an art museum focusing on American crafts and decorative arts from the 1800s through the present. The permanent collection is underwhelming; the real draw is the rotating exhibitions, which can be incredibly cool.
The National Gallery of Art houses a large permanent collection of works, tracing the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present. The East Wing focuses on modern art, and the museum's Sculpture Garden contains works from the Gallery's collection, as well as loans and special exhibitions, and a collection of native American trees and plants.
Opened in 2016, the National Museum of African American History and Culture has always been extremely popular, and for good reason. It's a stunning retrospective that explores the history of African Americans, from first slaves forced across the ocean to the modern day.
