点评:This is a bucket list museum for art lovers! The National Gallery houses a vast collection spanning many centuries. You can easily spend an entire day exploring both buildings and the surrounding sculpture garden. The west building houses an encyclopedic collection of European and and American art from the 13th century through early 20th century. Very impressive collection of Italian renaissance works and French impressionists. If you are pressed for time some of the must see works include the only DaVinci painting in North America, Vermeer’s, Woman Holding a Balance, plus works by Rembrandt, Titian, Degas, Mary Cassatt.
The east building houses modern and contemporary art including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein.
The east building won’t take as long to see, but the building itself is architecturally stunning and modern, juxtaposed with the classic, grand architecture of the west building.
This is one of the world’s great collections of culture!

东馆收藏了杰克逊·波洛克、马克·罗斯科、亚历山大·考尔德和罗伊·利希滕斯坦等现代和当代艺术家的作品。
参观东馆所需时间较短,但其建筑本身却令人惊艳,充满现代气息,与西馆古典宏伟的建筑风格形成鲜明对比。
这里是世界顶级的文化宝库之一!
