Dupont Underground

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

An enormous, abandoned streetcar station lies beneath Dupont Circle, and a local arts group has transformed it into a cool underground gallery of art, architecture and design. Exhibitions – maybe a sound installation or a graffiti collection – rise alongside the old tram tracks. The shows change regularly. The gallery is only open for specific events, so check the schedule online for times.
