When living in DC corporate housing take some time to see the National Gallery of Art. This will be one of the most memorable venues you visit and all ages will find wonderful things to enjoy. The museum is recognized as one of the worlds greatest art museums with art from the 13th century to present day. An exhibition of artifacts from the WWII project to protect art and which the movie The Monuments Men is based is on display till Sept. 1, 2014. During the beginning stages of our surge into Europe during WWII some concerned people in the art community persuaded Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt that preserving art, sculpture and historic monuments and protecting them from destruction was extremely important. In the past, war had destroyed significant artifacts and historical sites all over the world. Their desire was to not let this happen in Europe. The intent was to acquire them, protect them, and return them after the war to the owners. While in DC, you can visit the Gallery and see many of these items. The Gallery also hosts concerts, films and lectures so be sure to check the calendar and make sure you see all you desire.
