Tour of Highlights of the Freer Gallery of Art

We hope you can join us for a guided tour of the Highlights of the Freer Gallery of Art’s permanent collection.The Freer Gallery houses one of the premier collections of Asian art, with objects dating from Neolithic times to the early 20th century, as well as the world's most important collection of works by James McNeill Whistler. The Freer has beautiful and fascinating Chinese paintings, Indian sculpture, Islamic painting and metalware, Japanese lacquer, Korean ceramics, American Art from the late 19th-century aesthetic movement, and Whistler’s Peacock Room.

The group will enter through the accessible entrance on Independence Ave and 12th Street NW, take the elevator to the first floor, and meet the docent at the elevator on the first floor at 2 p.m. The exhibits are all on one floor and gallery chairs will be available. 

After the tour please feel free to explore the National Museum of Asian Art (the Freer Gallery of Art and the adjacent Arthur M. Sackler Gallery). Although the Museum is on multiple levels, they all are accessible by elevator.

Please note there are no dining facilities onsite, but there is a nice gift shop.
