Most museums with serious collections all seem to suffer from overcrowding, and the inability to get a close up look at the art. The Kreeger museum is the exact opposite. There were no crowds, and the majority of the paintings and sculptures have no ropes around them. I was allowed to get within inches of works by Picasso, Chagall, Monet, just to name a few. Once you step outside, the architecture is amazing, and the sculptures by Noguchi, Arp, Brzezinski are scattered thoughtfully around the property, inviting you to wander and explore both the manicured and wooded grounds. DC is a city awash in museums, but none of them will give you the personal experience of the Kreeger.
