Mission
The National Gallery of Art serves the nation by welcoming all people to explore and experience art, creativity, and our shared humanity.
Program accomplishments
- COLLECTIONS, CURATORIAL AND ACQUISITIONS OF ARTThe National Gallery's collection is at the heart of the National Gallery's mission, following founder Andrew W. Mellon's gift and mandate to establish a national gallery with works of the highest quality. The collection of paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts traces the development of European achievements from the thirteenth century to the present and American art from colonial times to the present. It comprises a comprehensive study of Italian Renaissance art, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci outside Europe, as well as strong holdings of the French Impressionists, the Dutch and Flemish masters, one of the country's most distinguished American collections, and twentieth-century art. The collection also includes prints, drawings, rare books and photographs. Major post-World War II sculpture is installed in a dynamic and richly landscaped setting in the National Gallery Sculpture Garden.Over 163,000 paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, and photographs comprise the National Gallery's collection.AcquisitionsOver the past year, we have added 947 works of art to the permanent collection by purchase or gift. Select highlights of our acquisitions include "Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy" by Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most famous seventeenth-century Italian painters. The presentation of the Magdalene is unusual, as she is absent her usual attributes of ointment jar and skull. Gentileschi stripped the subject down to the essential, a woman in a powerful state of transformation. Works by Artemisia Gentileschi are extremely rare and the acquisition of this work is a milestone for the National Gallery. The museum also acquired two works by Marguerite Gerard, who is recognized as one of the most important French artists of the Revolutionary period. ConservationThe Conservation Division continued to protect, preserve and steward our collections through 1,146 conservation treatments plus another 6,848 examinations of these artworks to preserve them for generations to come. Meanwhile, our curators continued to stage exhibitions and add to the collection in ways that allow us to welcome all people to explore and experience art, creativity, and our shared humanity.Expenses $104,075,358 · grants $52,756 · revenue $32,985

In fiscal year 2025, the Center supported 46 fellows and organized 35 scholarly programs, with 4,883 attendees across in-person and virtual formats. We welcomed award-winning classicist Mary Beard as Kress-Beinecke Professor, where she worked on a number of projects, mentored predoctoral fellows, and held two public programs. Highlights from the Center's programs included a book discussion with Jennifer L. Roberts on "Contact: Art and the Pull of Print", the most recent of our Mellon Lectures volumes produced with Princeton University Press; the 74th A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts by Mabel O.
