Enjoy an exclusive private tour and a fantastic taste of the Smithsonian American Art Museum known as SAAM, and formerly the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D.C., part of the Smithsonian Institution.

The museum has more than 7,000 artists represented in the collection. Most exhibitions take place in the museum's main building, the old Patent Office Building shared with the National Portrait Gallery. The museum provides electronic resources to schools and the public through its national education program. It maintains seven online research databases with more than 500,000 records, including the Inventories of American Painting and Sculpture that document more than 400,000 artworks in public and private collections worldwide.
