This souvenir book presents a brief history of the National Gallery of Art campus with an emphasis on the beauty and rationale of its design. Developed over the course of almost 75 years, the Gallery offers visitors from the United States and around the world an opportunity to see art in an architectural and landscape setting of striking beauty. The West Building (1941) and East Building (1978), joined by a subterranean concourse and a street-level plaza, as well as the Sculpture Garden (1999), all embody the institution’s rich cultural contribution to public life today.
