Virtual Visit to The National Gallery of Art
Out of all the Museums I have ever visited The National Gallery of Art is my favorite. Glen and I went there for the first time on our first anniversary in 1983. Exhilarating would be the word to describe how I felt walking through the Museum for the first time. Washington DC is a great destination on the weekend. Because, their hotel rooms are actually priced the best, because Congress and Senate are usually not in session. Also, all the museums are free. I usually do a lot of research before I visit and try to see as many big exhibitions as possible. In 1989 I think I visited the most. There were Van Gogh, Degas,Gaugiun, and O'Keefe exhibits that were astonishing. Vast collections that were crowded and exciting. Most of these shows my girlfriend and I would drive down early in the morning and drive back that day. The last time I visited it was with two girlfriends and we came upon an unexpected Vermeer exhibit....
