DC - National Gallery of Art
The National Gallery of Art has many classic statues and paintings. I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about artwork but I still find it very impressive in real life. Here's Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, something that may be familiar to viewers of a certain recent movie.
I don't recall the name of this painting but I think it was by Rembrandt.
Here's the famous painting by Claude Monet, The Houses of Parliament, Sunset.
And another Monet, The Banks of the Seine, Vétheuil.
Vincent van Gogh, The Orchard.
I find paintings like these far more impressive in person than any picture can ever express.
