National Gallery of Art
2h
Watch art come to life through story, important historical context, and a lot of levity. This is your opportunity to finally ask the “dumb” questions you’ve always wanted to about art, why we study it, and why humans are so drawn to it. We work from the West Building, through to the East, with a little snack break to keep spirits high. At the end, art won’t be this far-away, out-of-reach concept. Instead, it will transform into this digestible, almost empathetic view for the art and its artists.
