In addition to these landmarks, the city is home to numerous art museums and museums, with the Smithsonian institutions being the most prominent.<\/p>\n<p>While Washington, D.C. has museums of various sizes scattered throughout the city, the cluster of institutions around the National Mall is particularly popular due to their convenient locations.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, this time, we have created a model course to efficiently explore the art museums and museums located in the National Mall.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"styled_h2\">Exploring the Major Art Museums and Museums in Washington, D.C. in 72 Hours<\/h2>\n<p>Washington, D.C. is a compact city, and generally, you can visit the main tourist spots within three days. For example, on the first day, you can visit government buildings and historical monuments like the Lincoln Memorial, and spend the remaining two days visiting art museums and museums.<\/p>\n<p>However, in this guide, we will propose a luxurious plan that focuses solely on art museums and museums, ideal for those who want to take their time and enjoy them fully, excluding the popular spots in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"styled_h3\">Understanding the Locations of the Institutions in Advance<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V.jpg\" alt=\"Mac\u3092\u773a\u3081\u308b\u5973\u6027\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/SEP_355215221321_TP_V-1568x1045.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To efficiently explore the museums within the limited time of three days, it is essential to have a clear understanding of their locations in advance.<\/p>\n<p>The National Mall is vast, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk from Constitution Avenue at the northern end to Independence Avenue at the southern end. Furthermore, if you consider the distance from the eastern end with the United States Capitol to the western end with the Lincoln Memorial, it would take about an hour to walk, making the use of transportation essential.<\/p>\n<p>The museums and museums are scattered across the eastern half of the National Mall, between the Washington Monument and the United States Capitol. However, even then, it is not efficient, both in terms of time and physical stamina, to travel back and forth between the north and south.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you need to plan and divide your visits between the institutions located on the north and south sides of the National Mall.<\/p>\n<p>The institutions located on the north side of the National Mall are as follows:<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"styled_h4\">National Gallery of Art<\/h4>\n<div class=\"cardlink\">\n    <a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/observing-exhibits-of-national-gallery-of-art\/\">\n     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/national-gallery-of-art-dc.png\">\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"content\">\n     <div class=\"title_area\">\n      <div class=\"meta\">\n       <p class=\"date\">2022.10.10<\/p>\n       <p class=\"modified_date\">2024.02.28<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"title\">\n       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/observing-exhibits-of-national-gallery-of-art\/\">Enjoying Masterpieces at the National Gallery, the Art Sanctuary in the United States<\/a>\n      <\/div>\n     <\/div>\n     <p class=\"desc\"><span>Located to the northeast of the National Archives on the National Ma...<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"styled_h4\">National Archives<\/h4>\n<div class=\"cardlink\">\n    <a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/national-archives-where-the-national-documents-exhibits\/\">\n     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/national-archives-building.png\">\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"content\">\n     <div class=\"title_area\">\n      <div class=\"meta\">\n       <p class=\"date\">2022.11.01<\/p>\n       <p class=\"modified_date\">2024.01.25<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"title\">\n       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/national-archives-where-the-national-documents-exhibits\/\">Preserving America&#8217;s Heritage: The National Archives as the Guardian of History<\/a>\n      <\/div>\n     <\/div>\n     <p class=\"desc\"><span>The National Archives in Washington D.C. serves as a sanctuary for the...<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n   <\/div>\n\n<h4 class=\"styled_h4\">Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History<\/h4>\n<div class=\"cardlink\">\n    <a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/introduction-of-smithonian-national-museum-of-natural-history\/\">\n     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/smithsonian-museum-of-natural-history-1.png\">\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"content\">\n     <div class=\"title_area\">\n      <div class=\"meta\">\n       <p class=\"date\">2022.10.01<\/p>\n       <p class=\"modified_date\">2024.03.01<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"title\">\n       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldc.us.com\/en-us\/gallery\/introduction-of-smithonian-national-museum-of-natural-history\/\">Free Admission!
