National Museum of Women in the Arts

1250 New York Ave NW, Washington, D. C.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts was incorporated in December 1981 as a private, non-profit museum, and the Holladay donation became the core of the institution's permanent collection. After purchasing and extensively renovating a former Masonic Temple, NMWA opened in April 1987 with the inaugural exhibition "American Women Artists, 1830–1930". The collection currently contains more than 4,500 works in a variety of styles and media, spanning from the 16th century to present day.
