Current, Upcoming and Traveling Exhibitions
The Smithsonian American Art Museum presents an array of changing special exhibitions at both its historic main building in the heart of Washington, D.C.'s downtown cultural district, and at its branch museum, the Renwick Gallery, located nine blocks west near the White House. Exhibition subjects range from single-artist retrospectives to thematic explorations to installations of rarely seen works from the Museum's permanent collection. Special exhibitions at the Renwick Gallery, which open in the spring and fall, focus on contemporary artists as well as traditions in American craft and decorative arts.
