The works of Leonardo Da Vinci, Auguste Rodin, Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas are quite enchanting, but before you make your way inside the National Gallery of Art, be sure to check out the museum's memorable sculpture garden. See installations like Robert Indiana's Instagram worthy AMOR statue and Roy Lichtenstein's House I. These pieces are outside, but you're still not allowed to touch them, so hands off. Opened in 1999, the site is the vision of landscape architect Laurie Olin. The 6.1-acre garden is open year-round and hosts a popular ice rink in the winter months.
