The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. preserves, collects, exhibits, and fosters an understanding of works of art. Like other museums, it is currently closed, but over 50,000 of their items are available to view online on their website and via the Google Arts & Culture initiative.
A current exhibition worth checking out is “Degas at the Opéra.”
“An exuberant display of fecund imagination and keen observation, Edgar Degas’s renowned images of the Paris Opéra are among the most sophisticated and visually compelling works he ever created. Celebrating the 350th anniversary of the Opéra’s founding, Degas at the Opéra will present approximately 100 of the artist’s best-known and beloved works in a range of media, including paintings, pastels, drawings, prints, and sculpture.”
