DAR Museum
The DAR Museum looks at the American experience through the objects and art of the American home from the Colonial Era to the 20th century. As the only decorative arts museum in Washington, D.C., the DAR Museum collects and displays furniture, paintings, ceramics, textiles, costumes, metals, and other objects that reflect the human experience. We support the NSDAR’s goals of historic preservation, education and patriotism by preserving and interpreting the material culture and social history of pre-industrial America. The museum includes 31 period rooms and two galleries for rotating exhibitions. View more information on their Member Feature Page.
