Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait gallery.The museum itself is magnificent.

We were so lucky to be here during a special collection exhibit of Norman Rockwell's work. Steven Speilberg and George Lucas both collect Rockwell's work. We saw about a hundred paintings from their collections, but couldn't take pictures fo them. This is a Rockwell the museum owned so I could take a picture of this one. WE LOVED this museum!

There were portraits of Presidents and all sort of famous people, including the prophet Joseph Smith (there was a small one of Brigham Young,too).

The art was fabulous. This was one of our favorites by Moran, a huge floor to ceiling painting.
