Enjoy powerful portraits by one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. 
Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits looks at a renowned American photographer and how he forged a new mode of portraiture after World War II. Parks merged the documentary photographer's desire to place his subjects where they lived and worked with the studio photographer's attention to clothing, persona, and expression. In doing so, he believed he could create portraits of individuals who embodied their cultural significance. He applied this approach to American icons like boxer Muhammad Ali and conductor Leonard Bernstein, as well as Harlem gang leaders and Detroit couples, revealing the humanity and cultural dignity of each individual. 
Drawing primarily from the Corcoran Collection, this exhibition features approximately 25 portraits created by Parks between 1941 and 1970. Explore Parks' innovations in portraiture through some of his most famous photographs. Learn how his portraits tell larger stories about the Civil Rights Movement, the African American experience, and American culture.

The National Gallery of Art is located in Washington, D.C. and is managed by the Smithsonian Institution. The building itself is divided into two buildings, east and west, which can be connected by underground passages or across the street on the ground. It also includes a sculpture park. The museum is free to visit and is closed on Sundays.

I originally went there for Leonardo da Vinci&#39;s original works, but when I arrived, I found that the exhibition part of Leonardo da Vinci&#39;s original works was not open, which was a pity. There are more than 40,000 products in the entire exhibition hall, from the European Middle Ages to the modern era, including oil paintings, sculptures, prints, sketches, etc. There are exhibits. It takes about 1 hour to visit here. There is a coffee shop inside. You can take a map to see the specific location.

Came on September 21, 2017. The so-called &quot;reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles&quot;, visited the US Capitol in person, and spent time to understand the relevant knowledge, only to have a more correct understanding of many details. The Capitol is called Capitol Hill because its name is Capitolium, one of the seven hills in Rome, the tallest of the seven hills, the important center of politics and religion at the beginning of Rome&#39;s construction, and the capital is the same root. The political center used to name the country is quite good. The Capitol is a neoclassical style building, beautiful and atmospheric, centered on the rotunda, the north wing is the Senate, the south wing is the House of Representatives. The public can visit for free and even sit in on the proceedings of the two houses, but it is necessary to apply in advance and the quota is limited. Due to time, we just went around outside and took pictures, but this is not a loss. After all, the building itself is very beautiful, and it is very popular from all angles, and there are more places worth seeing in Washington, saving time.

The White House

City Halls

Came here on September 22, 2017.

I heard that the White House has not been open to the public since 9/11. When we went there, we could only watch it from a distance outside the fence, so the White House became a boring landmark. We took a tourist check-in photo to end our visit.

There is a big pine tree on the south side of the White House. I didn&rsquo;t expect it to be a &quot;landmark&quot; as well, the &quot;National Christmas Tree&quot;... Well, it seems that we should choose to visit during Christmas.

The National Air and Space Museum is large in scale, covering all aspects of aerospace history since the invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers, including gliders, aircraft, airplanes, transport planes, passenger planes, rockets, planetary probes, spacecraft, and artificial satellites. It also displays high-speed racing cars and motorcycles, capturing the vastness of the sky and space and the passion of speed. The gift shop also has a variety of shelves that attract many people&#39;s attention.

Lincoln Memorial

Monuments

Came here on September 22, 2017.

The Lincoln Memorial is located at the west end of the central axis of Washington, facing the Capitol Hill at the east end. The midpoint between the two is the Washington Monument, which shows how high President Lincoln&#39;s status is in the United States.

The Lincoln Memorial is a typical Greek-style building. It is said to commemorate his contribution to American democracy by liberating black slaves. The origin of Western democracy is Greece, and this style similar to the ancient Greek temple can also reflect Lincoln&#39;s greatness.

There is no other attraction in the memorial hall, just take photos and check in. There is a small souvenir shop in the memorial hall, which is quite good to buy. You can go shopping.

National Mall

Squares

Came here on September 21, 2017.

Between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument, there is a long and narrow green space, which is the National Mall of the United States. There are many national museums and memorials around the square. Each venue is very interesting and you can spend half a day visiting a single place.

If you don&#39;t have enough time, it&#39;s also good to take pictures. These buildings have different shapes, and taking pictures and checking in are very photogenic.
