Another of the Smithsonian Museums, this art museum is iconic in both design and content. It's Victorian build is a good fit for the content that's on display. Directly across the street from the Old Executive Office Building (and White House). There, you are centrally located to other buildings of interest in one form or another. As well as restaurants and public transportation.
The Renwick Gallery, part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, showcases contemporary American craft and decorative arts. The gallery features both traveling exhibitions and works from its permanent collection, displaying a wide range of media including wood, glass, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, paintings, and light installations. The building itself is a masterpiece—an historic structure originally designed by architect James Renwick Jr. in 1859. Though smaller than many of the Smithsonian museums, the Renwick offers an intimate and thought-provoking experience. I especially appreciate the diversity of its exhibitions and the depth of the ideas they explore. The gallery is currently closed temporarily.

If you are a fan of arts and crafts and this will be a high priority for you. Otherwise, you can safely skip it. It’s a pretty small museum and the artwork is all homemade, it’s not sophisticated. I did really enjoy seeing the county fair winner for the butter cow!
