Lonely Planet review for National Museum of Women in the Arts

The only American museum exclusively devoted to women’s artwork resides in this Renaissance-Revival mansion. Its collection – 2600 works by almost 700 female artists from 28 countries – moves from Renaissance artists such as Lavinia Fontana to 20th-century works by Kahlo, O’Keeffe and Frankenthaler. The permanent collection is largely paintings, and mostly portraits – not as rich a range as one might hope. But special collections are incredibly varied, ranging from Maria Sibylla Merian’s natural history engravings to Native American pottery.
