Ive been here a bunch of times, three or more floors of art. Great when theres an art show opening (though people get trapped downstairs near the food and drink since you cant bring food or drink into the art space). My only suggestion would be for art opening talks to take place in an auditorium space instead of in the first floor next to the art.

Nice modern art exhibition. Theres a cafeteria inside in case you want to have tea or coffee time with your friends

In addition to curating spectacular exhibitions of Washington area artists, the display, hanging and lighting of each show is perfectly balanced. Ive never entered this space and thought it was under or overhung, work was misplaced or badly lit. Everything is always exactly right.

A modern venue with a collection of classic and contemporary art from around the world. It is a prominent extension to the beautiful AU campus. The serenity makes you forget that you’re in the heart of DC. The presentation room was ultra modern.

I love the new technology and enovation building, SIS, communication, katzen art center and of course the Bender library. Friendly, eco and clean environment. The one omitted star is for parking enforcement which can get hefty.

The Katzen Arts Center is one of DCs lesser known museums because its so far off the National Mall in NW DC that its a trek to get to. However, if youre armed with an Instagram account, its a must do while in DC.The museum is free and houses a collection of modern art. Its all minimalist themed, which means its simplicity is breathtakingly beautiful. Get our your phone and start snapping social media worthy photos.Once youre done inside, venture outside where more art awaits you.This museum is also an excellent place for photo shoots too!
