The Smithsonian Institution's American Art Museum, the nation's first collection of American art, is an unparalleled record of the American experience. The collection celebrates the vision and creativity of Americans with approximately 41,000 artworks in all media spanning more than three centuries.

The museum's permanent collection is featured in six installations, including "American Experience," "American Art through 1940," the expanded "America's Presidents," "American Origins, 1600-1900" and "20th-Century Americans" featuring famous sports figures and entertainers, plus contemporary works in the Lincoln Gallery.

The Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery represents the nation's history through images of individuals who have shaped its culture. Through the visual arts, performing arts and new media, the Portrait Gallery exhibits likenesses of poets and presidents, visionaries and villains, actors and activists who embody and invoke American history.

The gallery opened to the public in 1968 and reopened again to the public in July 2006 after a six-year renovation. It is the only museum of its kind in the United States to combine the aspects of American history, biography and art.

The museum's collection of nearly 20,000 works ranges from paintings and sculpture to photographs and drawings. Also, the gallery features temporary exhibitions. Two innovative and bold public spaces provide new ways to experience American art and portraiture:
• Lunder Conservation Center - the first art conservation facility in the United States that allows the public permanent behind-the-scenes views of the museums' preservation work. Conservation staff from both museums are visible to the public through floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
• Luce Foundation Center for American Art - the first visible art storage and study center in Washington, which features more than 3,300 objects from the American Art Museum's permanent collection in secure glass cases.

A large skylight courtyard is available to relax, people watch and eat food purchased from the museum/gallery cafe.

Security: security checkpoint, similar to airports. No backpacks, tripods or bag lunches.

The beach house was a hot spot on Santa Monica’s beach with Hearst and Davies entertaining luminaries from the Hollywood. The property was later purchased from Davies and converted to Oceanhouse, “America’s Most Beautiful Hotel,” and to the Sand & Sea Club, a limited-membership beach club. After the Oceanhouse venture ended, the main mansion was demolished in 1956. The popular Sand & Sea Club continued to operate, even after it was sold to the state in 1959. The city ran the facility from the 1990s until the 1994 Northridge earthquake severely damaged all structures on site. Following an extensive rehabilitation a new public beach house opened, the only one of its kind in the country. Also on the grounds are the historic Davies guest house, a pool, splash pad, play area, beach volleyball and tennis courts, gardens, event space, cafe, and the historic Davies guest. The Pacific Coast Bike Trail winds along the western edge of the facility. The café offers food and beverages, plus rentals - beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, volleyballs and beach tennis equipment.
