Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery to Open July 1, 2006 *Update*
Thanks to our friends at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, we have been informed that the museums will actually open on July 1, 2006 instead of July 4.
After several years of renovation (more info), the museums housed in the 8th and F St. building will re-open on July 4th 1st. And even after the museums open, we can look forward to the next phase of renovation scheduled for a mid-2007 completion. The museum’s courtyard will be enclosed in a glass roof designed by renowned architect Norman Foster. (Follow the renovation link for a pic of the glass enclosure)
