 American Stories American art can tell complex stories about evolving national identities in the United States. Join us as we look closely at American art from the colonial period to the early 20th century, engaging in conversation and exploring different perspectives with these works from our collection.
 Breaking the Rules in Modern Art How and why did rules of painting and sculpture change radically throughout the 20th century? Through close looking and conversation, we'll explore how artists departed from traditional materials and subject matter while grappling with the modern world.
 Dialogues in Modern Art and Contemporary Art Discover connections and “dialogues” between modern and contemporary works of art in the National Gallery’s East Building. Together we will explore artistic process and uncover layers of meaning in painting and sculpture through close looking and conversation.
 French Art: Impressionism to the Early 20th Century In what ways did 19th-century French artists break with tradition and transform French art? Together we will look closely and explore how artists such as Monet, Cézanne, and Cassatt challenged the art establishment through their subject matter and techniques.
 Glimpses of Life in 17th Century Dutch Art Join us to explore works of art that offer glimpses of life in 17th century Dutch society during a period of social, economic, and religious change. Through close looking and conversation, we will uncover the layers of meaning in paintings created during an unprecedented flourishing of the arts.
 Italian Renaissance Collection How did artists respond to the culture and ideas of the Renaissance in Italy? Join us in exploring the rise of humanism in society and innovations in art through works by artists like Giotto, Leonardo, Raphael, and Titian.
