The Hall of Sculpture Right of the Rotunda on the Main Floor of the West Building of NGA
The National Gallery of Art has many, many priceless paintings. Like most people, I went to NGA to see those paintings; and to my delight, I discovered that there are also a plethora of marble sculptures scattered about the halls, the galleries, the cafes, etc. Yesterday I went to the museum; and my primary objective was to see the Degas/Cassatt exhibit. [I glanced at the Wyeth exhibit, too; and I can honestly attest that it is outstanding. I’ll return to give Wyeth a fresher concentration]. On this trip, I decided that I would use my iphone camera to shoot a few of the sculptures that grace the museum’s halls and rooms. Following are a few of those shots [plus a few that I found on wikipedia]:
The following are in rooms with paintings:
