Museums: National Gallery of Art #4 (Alexander Calder)

The National Gallery of Art has an extensive collection of American modern art.  

The gallery exhibits a wide range of Alexander Calder's work.  The exhibition is located in a special  room ("the tower") that was recently added to the East Building.  

We have visited the exhibition a couple of times.  Let's tour the Calder works together.  










Below are two photos.  The first photo shows the model for the very large mobile in the atrium of the East Building.  The second photo shows the actual mobile.




P.S. This dude is about to escape from the exhibits of modern art. He was captured in the illuminated tunnel between the East and West Buildings of the National Gallery.
