The Gallacian will be at the NGA till March 16. EVERYONE there was snapping photos. He’s in the rotunda area at the main entrance. Surprisingly, nothing really special about the presentation.
Right now there’s a special exhibition on Byzantium that’s just wonderful. http://www.nga.gov/content/ngaweb/features/byzantine.html. NGA is such a magnificent place, hard to imagine just how much priceless art is housed there.
You might consider parking at the Greenbelt Metro station, close to where I95 meets the Beltway, and taking Metro to the Archives stop 1+ blocks from the NGA. It’s a 26 minute ride; $3.50/$2.30 for seniors (plus $1 for farecard) and $4.50 parking from 10:30a till closing (@ midnight). A LOT less time and $$ than driving to downtown to park. Just a thought.
Thanks for the info. Interestingly, when I saw the Gaul at the Capitoline, he was in the entrance hall, almost overlooked it seemed to me.
