The Smithsonian American Art Museum, based in Washington, DC, is a major cultural institution focused on American art. Its collection documents the American experience across three centuries, capturing the goals, character, and creativity of the nation. It ranks among the world's largest and most inclusive repositories of American art, linking artworks to wide-ranging strands of U.S. history from the colonial era to the present. It serves a diverse audience of visitors, scholars, and educators through exhibitions and related news and programming. A notable 2025 development is a partnership with Intel at the Renwick Gallery to present No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man, bringing a virtual-reality interpretation of the Burning Man desert city to the public.
