National Gallery of Art – Sculpture Garden is located Constitution Ave NW &, 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20408 and offers a lovely 6 acre stroll in the heart of the district. At its center the space features a monumental fountain that converts to an ice-skating rink in the winter.
The Sculpture Garden fulfills the centuries-old intentions of Charles Pierre L’Enfant, who, in his designs for The Mall in the 1790s, included a public, landscaped garden on the north side of Washington, DC’s “8th Street axis.” The plan to add sculpture to this site for a “National Sculpture Garden,” as an extension of the Gallery’s campus, was announced by the White House in 1966. Planted with perennials, ground covers, shrubs, and flowering trees, the mature landscape design offers a verdant setting for art. Seasonal jazz concerts and ice-skating, as well as both indoor and outdoor dining at the Pavilion Café, offer visitors many different ways to experience and enjoy the Sculpture Garden. source Open daily 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
