Smithsonian American Art Museum

The American Art Museum, located next to the American Portrait Gallery, is often the next stop people stop at after visiting the former. There is an obvious colorful cowboy sculpture outside the building, which has strong American characteristics. The building itself was once a sanatorium for soldiers during the Civil War, and now exists as a promotion and collection of American art. As an art-themed type of museum, artworks such as paintings and sculptures can be seen everywhere, which are novel and interesting.
