National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden

Sunday July 12, 2009
The six-acre National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ambiance of the National Mall. Seventeen major sculptures, set in a beautifully landscaped informal garden, are on display by internationally renowned artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Mark di Suvero, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, and Tony Smith. During the summer on Friday evenings, jazz musicians entertain visitors by the reflecting pool at Jazz in the Garden. Refreshments are available year-round at the Pavilion Café.
