Tucked away in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery is the Old Patent Office. Back in the day, this was one of the busiest offices in Washington where hundreds of inventors and attorneys came to hunt through patents. Today, its known as the Luce Gallery where it serves as a sort of curated storage space for the museum. #travelling #traveltips #washingtondc #travelwashingtondc #museum #americanhistory #travelusa #learnfromalocal #wanderlust #touristing #smithsonian #smithsonianmuseum
