This place never disappoints. The building is relatively small but they rotate the exhibits on a regular basis and they are always super cool and have over the top, interesting art pieces.

The Wonder exhibit is fantastic: a collection of full-room installations in a variety of media, including preserved insects! Must be seen to be believed.
The bug room was awesome. The whole wonder exhibit was great. A weekday visit is definitely recommended if you have time.
The Wonder exhibit on now is breath taking. No line for the downstairs rooms so if you're in a rush you can still experience some of the beauty.
No matter what the exhibit on display this is a must see. The displays are unique and really impressive. Museum is on the smaller side, but admission is free. Right across from the White House.
Wonderful experience. Different than most of exhibitions. You won’t regret your visit.
I have been going to Washington for 40 years and just visited for the first time. What a great place to visit with so many interesting exhibits! Definitely will go back again!
This little free gallery has an interesting permanent exhibition and all the rotating ones I saw were good as well!
Very small. Can see it all in less than half an hour. And definitely worth the visit!! (also, it's FREE)
Perhaps the most conquerable of all the Smithsonians, this small but delightful museum of American arts and decorative crafts is a sea of calm. Read more
Small gallery with rotating exhibits featuring modern art. Check the website ahead of time to see what’s being featured.
Lots of cool vase sculptures, awesome mug exhibit, right by the White House !
I adore Renwick. Each time I'm in town they have something beautiful and wondrous to show. Art that makes you think, not some random abstract crap 😄
The permanent exhibits are truly a spectacular display of American creativity and fine artistry from a variety of styles and medium. An excellent @Smithsonian collection
You may love some of the nouveau art, yet not agree that some of the other is art, but it will all be memorable.
Great, free, modern art museum near the White House.
Beautiful contemporary art museum with rotating exhibits right next to the White House! Read more
Great space and galleries, located right next to the White House.
The place to be my friends. Wind the funk down at this gallery w me
Burning Man exhibit is beautifully done. A must see.
The Knight of the Holy Grail upstairs and straight ahead through the doors is incredible! Don't miss it, or its companions in the room.
Rotating art exhibits! The dollhouse exhibits are very cool!
Amazing gallery space. Great architecture too.
The Smithsonian's American Craft museum and gallery is one of DC's hidden gems. Make sure to check out the contemporary glass art upstairs.
Impressive art work! I recommend coming during the weeks to avoid the lines.
If you make it to Wonder, you won't be disappointed.
Small and wonderfull gallery. Must go.
The Wonder exhibit was amazing. See what's left of it before it's all gone.
This place is a delight. Small manageable space, but presents with first tier street cred
Check out the Burning Man exhibit!
Excellent rotating exhibits- we went yesterday to see the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, which was amazing
Beaitiful exhibition Wonder. Really amazing
Best Gallery I have ever been!!
Selective collection of American arts in a folks tradition, but not arts and craftsy in the least.
This place has high quality art and it is displayed well
Interesting exhibitions take place, must see in DC
Creative exhibits featuring American artists
Great place to find American artwork near the White House.
"Wonder" exhibit is fantastic - beautiful and impressive.
@cspanhistory visited the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery to learn about Delphine Hirasuna's book & exhibit "The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942-1946." Read more
Cool place to go for a quick fix of art.
Part of The Smithsonian Institution so entry is free!
No Spectators (the art of Burning Man) is a must see
My babushka when she's wearing all her furs at once.
Instagram gallery. So many sick photo ops
Great Art - some of my favorite pieces and a great way to beat the heat around the White House.
Super long lines. Arrive early to skip the wait.
Superbes expositions
Try to figure out what is so unique about the ghost clock without reading the description.... Very cool!!!!
