But of course, the best way to experience NMWA is by visiting in person. We invite you to come through our doors and see for yourselves what makes NMWA such a marvelous museum. Visitors traveling by Metro should use the 13th street exit at Metro Center station. Many other museums, the Convention Center, and the White House are within easy walking distance.

Street parking is minimal and restricted to parking meters which require quarters.
All of these garages are busy and have a limited number of available spaces during the work week. A limited number of wheelchairs is available at the security guard's desk for use within the museum. A large print edition of the permanent collection wall text is available at the Information Desk. We are closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. It offers a wide selection of books by and about women painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators, and writers.
