This place never disappoints. The building is relatively small but they rotate the exhibits on a regular basis and they are always super cool and have over the top, interesting art pieces.

The Wonder exhibit is fantastic: a collection of full-room installations in a variety of media, including preserved insects! Must be seen to be believed.

Camille Davis

The bug room was awesome. The whole wonder exhibit was great. A weekday visit is definitely recommended if you have time.

Yasaman Mahdian

Wonderful experience. Different than most of exhibitions . You won’t regret your visit.

Danielle DaSilva

No matter what the exhibit on display this is a must see. The displays are unique and really impressive. Museum is on the smaller side, but admission is free. Right across from the White House .

Ashley Rose

The Wonder exhibit on now is breath taking. No line for the downstairs rooms so if you're in a rush you can still experience some of the beauty.

Borys Pierov

This little free gallery has an interesting permanent exhibition and all the rotating ones I saw were good as well !

I have been going to Washington for 40 years and just visited for the first time. What a great place to visit with so many interesting exhibits ! Definitely will go back again!

I adore Renwick. Each time I'm in town they have something beautiful and wondrous to show. Art that makes you think, not some random abstract crap ????

Very small. Can see it all in less than half an hour. And definitely worth the visit!! (also, it's FREE)

The Knight of the Holy Grail upstairs and straight ahead through the doors is incredible! Don't miss it, or its companions in the room.

Selective collection of American arts in a folks tradition, but not arts and craftsy in the least.
