The Freer Gallery of Art

I visited the Freer Gallery of Art for an art history course I'm taking and I saw some really great things while exploring it and the National Mall. I saw some really great uses of brick, stone, brass, steel, and wood...

The Smithsonian Castle facade

National Museum of African Art - didn't get a chance to go in but I'm planning on going back
