above all, i love visiting museums and art galleries. it's my thing. i love walking through the halls looking at the history, different parts of the worlds cultures, and finding beautiful masterpieces. this one in particular, however, is my absolute favorite.

the renwick gallery sits on the corner of pennsylvania avenue in washington, d.c., and stands about two stories high. right when you walk in, there is grand staircase, carpeted in red from the bottom to the top.

the gallery hosts a permanent collection called connections, and an exhibit that was open when i went called visions and revisions. 

renwick is actually a very small, but lofty space. with two floors, and about three rooms on each floor, there is a lot of art to see. i especially loved the recent invitational, visions and revisions. one of my favorite pieces was this beautiful, clay grand piano, piano forte by kristen morgin.


ready for my favorite part? after you walked up the steps, there was this huge archway entrance into the grand salon, and you could already see the colors. janet echelman, an american sculptor, created a voluminous, colorful net sculpture hung from the ceiling.
