Freer Sackler Smithsonian Museum Visit

We haven't been inside this museum since we first moved to DC eleven years ago. The Freer Sackler Museum has been closed for renovations for quite some time. This past weekend it reopened with an grand ceremony that included a light show. So on our morning walk today we decided we would stop in the Freer Gallery. The crowds are sparse now, and Tuesday is always a good day to visit most things on the National Mall. It was a delightful, gorgeous, sunny - but cool - walk over. We picked up a map at the entryway and started walking to the Chinese section, then to the Korean area and in to the Peacock Room. There was a small American section, and then we headed towards the Japan, Islamic world, and Indian Subcontinent exhibits. The Sackler Gallery is connected to this one, but we saved that for another time. We did stop in the beautiful courtyard, and then walked over to the Smithsonian Castle for a quick lunch. This is a great time to be in DC. Lucky for us, we just need to walk there.
