National Gallery of Art Celebrates the Holiday Season

Sunday December 7, 2008
The National Gallery of Art celebrates the holiday season with free programs that include caroling, concerts, gallery talks, and more. Guest choirs lead afternoon sing-along caroling at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on December 13, 14, 20 and 21. Singers and listeners of all ages are welcome.

Ice Skating at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is a wonderful holiday activity as well. View extraordinary art sculptures and gardens while skating outdoors in the heart of Washington, DC. The Gallery Shops offer seasonal items and art-related gifts, and the restaurants serve a selection of holiday favorites from around the world. Decking the West Building's grand Rotunda and Garden Courts is an array of traditional holiday plants and greenery, from amaryllis and poinsettias to fir trees decorated with sparkling white lights.
