The Renwick Gallery, part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, reopened in 2015 after an extensive renovation. The second floor, which previously displayed American artwork in a formal setting, now houses temporary exhibits including site- specific art. The current exhibit, filling both floors of the museum, features huge sculptures created for Burning Man and a temple built on site – very cool stuff! A few creations are located on the sidewalks outside so pick up a map before leaving the museum.
The accessible ramp is on the west side of the museum near the main entrance, Exhibits that aren’t accessible have an alternate viewing location. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good condition.
Bear made of pennies!
