The collection, which was begun in 1829, was first on display in the original
John P. Jacob
Smithsonian Building, now nicknamed the "Castle". The collection grew as the
Karen Lemmey
Smithsonian buildings grew, and the collection was housed in one or more
Crawford Alexander
Smithsonian buildings on the National Mall.[4] By the 1920s, space had
Mann III
become critical: "Collections to the value of several millions of dollars are in
Joanna Marsh
storage or temporarily on exhibition and are crowding out important exhibits
Sarah Newman
and producing a congested condition in the Natural History, Industrial Arts,
E. Carmen Ramos
and Smithsonian Buildings".[12] In 1924, architect Charles A. Platt – who
William Truettner
designed the 1918 Freer Gallery for the Smithsonian – drew up preliminary
Leslie Umberger
plans for a National Gallery of Art to be built on the block next to the Natural
Public Gallery
History Museum.[12] However, this building was never constructed.[13]
transit Place-Chinatown
The Smithsonian American Art Museum first opened to the public in its access
current location in 1968 when the Smithsonian renovated the Old Patent Office Website americanart.si.edu (h
Building in order to display its collection of fine art. American Art's main ttp://americanart.si.e
building, the Old Patent Office Building, is a National Historic Landmark du/)
located in Washington, D.C.'s downtown cultural district. It is considered an
example of Greek Revival architecture[14] in the United States.[15] It was designed by architects Robert Mills,[16] and
Thomas U. Walter.

During the 1990s, the Smithsonian Institution worked on restoring the building.[17]

The Smithsonian completed another renovation of the building in July 1, 2006.[10] The 2000-2006 renovation restored
many of the building’s exceptional architectural features: restoring the porticos modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, a
curving double staircase, colonnades, vaulted galleries, large windows, and skylights as long as a city block.[10][17][8]
During the renovation, the Lunder Conservation Center, the Luce Foundation Center for American Art, Nan Tucker
McEvoy Auditorium, and the Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard were added to the building.[17]

In 2008, the American Alliance of Museums awarded reaccreditation to the Smithsonian American Art Museum.[18]

The Smithsonian American Art Museum's main building is shared with the National Portrait Gallery, as seen
from G Street NW in 2011

National Portrait Gallery

The Smithsonian American Art Museum shares the historic Old Patent Office building with the National Portrait Gallery,
another Smithsonian museum. Although the two museums' names have not changed, they are collectively known as the
Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture.[10][19]

Renwick Gallery
Also under the auspices of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the
Renwick Gallery is a smaller, historic building on Pennsylvania Avenue across
the street from the White House.[20] The building originally housed the
collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art.[20][21] In addition to displaying a
large collection of American contemporary craft, several hundred paintings
from the museum’s permanent collection — hung salon style: one-atop-
another and side-by-side — are featured in special installations in the Grand
Salon.[20]

The Renwick Gallery is located on

Features and programs Pennsylvania Avenue.

Collections
Part of the Smithsonian Institution, the museum has a broad variety of American art, with more than 7,000 artists
represented,[22] that covers all regions and art movements found in the United States. SAAM contains the world's largest
collection of New Deal art; a collection of contemporary craft, American impressionist paintings, and masterpieces from
the Gilded Age; photography, modern folk art, works by African American and Latino artists, images of western
expansion, and realist art from the first half of the twentieth century. Among the significant artists represented in its
collection are Nam June Paik, Jenny Holzer, David Hockney, Georgia O'Keeffe, John Singer Sargent, Albert Pinkham
Ryder, Albert Bierstadt, Edmonia Lewis, Thomas Moran, James Gill, Edward Hopper, John William "Uncle Jack" Dey,
Karen LaMonte[23] and Winslow Homer.[4]

SAAM describes itself as being "dedicated to collecting, understanding, and enjoying American art. The museum
celebrates the extraordinary creativity of artists whose works reflect the American experience and global connections."[24]

Galleries and public spaces

The American Art's main building contains expanded permanent-collection galleries and public spaces.[25] The museum
has two innovative public spaces. The Luce Foundation Center for American Art is a visible art storage and study center,
which allows visitors to browse more than 3,300 works of the collection.[25] The Lunder Conservation Center is "the first
art conservation facility to allow the public permanent behind-the-scenes views of the preservation work of museums".[25]

The Luce Foundation Center for American Art

The Luce Foundation Center, which opened in July 2000,[26][27] is the first visible art storage and study center in
Washington, D.C.[10] and the fourth center to bear the Luce Family name.[10][28] It has 20,400 square feet on the third
and fourth floors of American Art Museum.[10][29][30][31]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_American_Art_Museum 3/8
4/6/2019 Smithsonian American Art Museum - Wikipedia

It presents more than 3,300 objects in 64 secure glass cases, which quadruples
the number of artworks from the permanent collection on public view.[26][10]
The purpose of open storage is to allow patrons to view various niche art that is
usually not part of a main exhibition or gala special.[29] The Luce Foundation
Center features paintings densely hung on screens; sculptures; crafts and
objects by folk and self-taught artists arranged on shelves.[32][33] Large-scale
sculptures are installed on the first floor.[26] The Center has John Gellatly’s
European collection of decorative arts.[10][31]

Lunder Conservation Center

The Lunder Conservation Center, which opened in July 2000,[34] is the first art
conservation facility that allows the public permanent behind-the-scenes views
of preservation work.[34] Conservation staff are visible to the public through
floor-to-ceiling glass walls that allow visitors to see firsthand all the techniques
which conservators use to examine, treat, and preserve artworks.[35][34][36]
The Lunder Center has five conservation laboratories and studios equipped to The Luce Foundation Center for
treat paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures, folk art objects, American Art on the third floor of the
contemporary crafts, decorative arts, and frames.[35][34] The Center uses Smithsonian American Art Museum.
various specialized and esoteric tools, such as hygrothermographs, to maintain
optimal temperature and humidity to preserve works of art. Staff from both the
Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery work in
the Lunder Center.[34]

Selected exhibitions
The museum has put on hundreds of exhibitions since its founding. Many
exhibitions are groundbreaking and promote new scholarship within the field
of American.

Outreach
The museum has maintained a traveling exhibition program since 1951. During the 2000s renovation, a "series of
exhibitions of more than 1,000 major artworks from American Art's permanent collection traveled to 105 venues across
the United States," which were "seen by more than 2.5 million visitors". Since 2006, thirteen exhibitions have toured to
more than 30 cities.[53]

SAAM provides electronic resources to schools and the public as part of education programs. An example is Artful
Connections, which gives real-time video conference tours of American Art. In addition, the museum offers the Summer
Institutes: Teaching the Humanities through Art, week-long professional development workshops that introduce
educators to methods for incorporating American art and technology into their humanities curricula.[54]

American Art has seven online research databases, which has more than 500,000 records of artworks in public and
private collections worldwide, including the Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture. Numerous researchers and
millions of virtual visitors per year use these databases. Also, American Art and Heritage Preservation work together in a
joint project, Save Outdoor Sculpture, "dedicated to the documentation and preservation of outdoor sculpture". The
museum produces a peer-reviewed periodical, American Art (started in 1987), for new scholarship. Since 1993, American
Art has been had an online presence. It has one of the earliest museum websites when, in 1995, it launched its own
website. EyeLevel, the first blog at the Smithsonian Institution, was started in 2005 and, as of 2013, the blog "has
approximately 12,000 readers each month".[55]

In popular culture
President Abraham Lincoln held his inaugural ball in the gallery currently called the Lincoln Gallery.[8]

In 2006, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi designed the conservators' denim work aprons.[36][56][57]

In 2008, the American Art Museum hosted an alternate reality game, called Ghosts of a Chance, which was created by City
Mystery. The game allowed patrons "a new way of engaging with the collection" in the Luce Foundation Center. The game
ran for six weeks and attracted more than 6,000 participants.[31]
