Enjoy Winter Art Favorites at the National Gallery
The coldest season of the year is upon us—at least in the northern hemisphere.
With over 150,000 works in our collection, only 2 percent are on view at any given time. So, this winter, we've selected some of our favorites from more than 100 winter-themed artworks in our collection for you to enjoy online.
Explore snowy, rural scenes from American painters of the 1800s, playful abstract drawings by 20th-century artists, and searing images of winter captured by contemporary photographers. We hope you’ll enjoy these works and share them with family and friends.
Looking for more ways to celebrate? Visit our ice rink and enjoy other programs and events this season.
While we are closed on December 25 and January 1, you can plan your visit for any other day. We look forward to seeing you soon.
