The Smithsonian ( Washington D.C.) By: Mark Diso September 2, 2014

This is the Smithsonian located on 8th and F Streets, N.W. Washington, D.C particularly the Smithsonian Art Museum. The Smithsonian's are a large chain of museums although this particular one is an art museum.

Smithsonian Art Museum incorporated greek architecture by Robert Mills and Thomas U. Walter in the 1990s. Also it was modeled after the Pantheon in Athens.

The Luce Foundation Center opened in July 2000 on the third floor of the Smithsonian and is the first visible art storage area in Washington but also the first study center of art as well.

The Art of Video Games exhibit is a whole exhibition of video games that was made in September 30 th, 2012 and showcases all sorts of video games that changed the outlook of art to this day.

Reflection Personally I like this art museum the best because of its wide variety of art exhibits but not only its wide selections but one of my favorite because of one specific exhibit called the Art of Video Games and how they consider video games as art. Although despite some critics stating video games are not art the Smithsonian Art of Video Games exhibit proves that they are. Also I liked how the Smithsonian has a wide perspective and view of types of art ranging from American art culture to the art of video games and that is my reflection of the Smithsonian Art museum in Washington D.C.
