National Gallery of Art: Visit The Gallery at Home

January 20, 2021 by The District Leave a Comment

National Gallery of Art in Washington DC

THE GALLERY IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
On Saturday, November 21, the Gallery temporarily closed to the public out of an abundance of caution and in response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the region and across the nation. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will notify you as soon as we can reopen safely.

While the Gallery is temporarily closed to the public, we will continue to do our very best to offer opportunities to connect with art from home—through new perspectives shared on our website, our social media channels, this weekly newsletter, and our online programs.

And whether or not you’re able to visit in person, stay engaged at home with the virtual events below!

At Home Programs

PEACE, HOPE, AND RENEWAL
In the days before the Gallery closed on November 21, we asked visitors and staff three questions: What brings you joy? What are you thankful for? What do you hope for others? Their responses are collected in this video, which we hope will bring you joy and inspire your own reflections.

VIRTUAL FILM SERIES
The Inheritance

Filmed in colorful 16 mm and featured in this year’s New York Film Festival, The Inheritance weaves together filmmaker Ephraim Asili’s personal recollections of life in a West Philadelphia group house with recorded histories from Black activists, resistors, and freedom fighters. Photographs, books, records, speeches, and poetry tell the story of Philadelphia’s MOVE organization, the self-sufficient separatist collective that infamously became the target of a fatal police bombing in 1985.

Streaming for free on the National Gallery website from January 20 through January 26.
