One of D.C's hidden gems is The Kreeger Museum.   The museum was once the home of art collectors David and Carmen Kreeger and today features their collection of European and American paintings and sculpture, plus Asian and African artifacts.

We recently visited the Kreeger Museum and were amazed at the quality of the collection. You can see for yourself below.  Enjoy.  

In addition to great paintings, the Kreeger features a collection of sculptures, including works by Auguste Rodin and Alexander Calder.

Next Up:  More paintings at the Kreeger, all by one of our favorite artists.
