The National Museum of Women in the Arts

Where as in most places, museums are closed on Mondays, here in DC, they are mostly open.  So what better way to spend the last Monday of my winter break that at a museum?  I chose the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Over the years the collection has expanded and the works housed there cross a wide chronological and stylistic range.  Here are some of the paintings currently on display.
