|---|---|
 10:00am to 5:00pm | 401 F St NW, Washington, DC 20001 Lego Architecture: Towering Ambition: Architectural artist Adam Reed Tucker recreates large-scale artistic models of some of the world's most famous structures using Legos, including the Empire State Building, St. Louis' Gateway Arch, and Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater. The simplicity and nostalgic quality of LEGO® affords viewers a new, detailed look at familiar buildings. Now through September 3rd, 2012, visitors can lean in close to see the complexity of a building's intricate design and engineering or take a step back to appreciate its stunning sculptural form in full. Adults: $8; Youth (3-17yrs)/Students w/ID/Seniors (65+): $5. Monday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm; and Sunday 11:00 am - 5:00 pm. National Building Museum: 401 F Street NW, Washington DC (202)272.2448 www.nbm.org |
11:00am to 7:00pm | National Portrait Gallery, Eighth and F Streets NW, Washington, D.C. 20001 FREE! This year the National Portrait Gallery joins with millions of Americans commemorating the centennial of this “consequential” and “transformational” president, terms used to describe the Reagan presidency by President Barack Obama. This exhibit chronicles Ronald Reagan's early years in Illinois through his acting and political career, to his predidency from 1981-1989 |
11:30am to 7:00pm | American Art Museum, 2nd Floor, 8th and F Streets, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20004 (202) 633-7970 FREE! This exhibition charts a new direction for one of America's best-known living photographers. Unlike her staged and carefully lit portraits made on assignment for magazines and advertising clients, the photographs in this exhibition were taken simply because Leibovitz was moved by the subject. The images speak in a commonplace language to the photographer’s curiosity about the world she inherited, spanning landscapes both dramatic and quiet, interiors of living rooms and bedrooms, and objects that are talismans of past lives. Pilgrimage is an evocative and deeply personal statement by a photographer whose career now spans more than forty years, encompassing a broad range of subject matter, history, and stylistic influences. |

10:00am to 8:30pm | The Phillips Collection, 1600 21st Street, NW, Washington, D.C., near the corner of 21st and Q Streets, NW. The invention of the Kodak handheld camera in 1888 gave post-impressionist artists a new source of inspiration. Investigating the techniques and compositional strategies made possible by the new apparatus, artists captured their private lives, as well as their public domains, in surprising ways |
