Today I went to see The Capitoline Venus, visiting from Rome for a short time at The National Gallery of Art. It is only the second time it has left Rome. The first time was when it was taken to Paris by Napoleon during his invasion of Italy. It was returned to Capitoline Museum a year after Napoleon fell.
She's exquisite.
I stopped at The Smithsonian Castle for some food and walked over to the west wing. This was one view inside the Smithsonian Castle.
Another gorgeous view inside The Smithsonian Castle.
