CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART

WASHINGTON, DC

The Corcoran Gallery of Art is a renowned art museum located in Washington DC. Established in 1869, it is one of the oldest museums of art in the United States. The museum houses an impressive collection of American art, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, and decorative arts. The Corcoran Gallery of Art is also home to one of the largest collections of 19th-century American art in the country.

The museum building itself is a work of art, designed by renowned architect Ernest Flagg. The Beaux-Arts building is located on 17th Street NW and features a grand entrance with a sweeping staircase and ornate columns. The interior of the museum is equally impressive with high ceilings, marble floors, and large windows that let in plenty of natural light.

The Corcoran Gallery of Art is a popular destination for art lovers and tourists alike. The museum hosts a variety of exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing both historic and contemporary art. In addition to the permanent collection and special exhibitions, the museum also offers educational programs for visitors of all ages.

Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, the Corcoran Gallery of Art closed its doors in 2014. However, the building and its collection were transferred to the National Gallery of Art and the George Washington University Museum and Textile Museum. Today, visitors can still admire the impressive architecture and enjoy the artwork that once called the Corcoran Gallery of Art home.
