About this experience

Discover the National Portrait Gallery, featuring portraits of influential Americans, including presidents, first ladies, and Civil War heroes like Grant and Sherman. See 19th-century daguerreotypes and early photographs of the Robber Barons and Suffragettes.
Visit the American Art Museum to view works by Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper, David Hockney, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Also, look at the unique portrait of former President Obama at the museum.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
