Arts & Culture
Hidden gem right across from the White House (and a 20 minute walk from my apartment). It focuses on craft art with some insanely innovative pieces in the permanent collection - and a rotating exhibit downstairs.

Getting Around
This stop is on the Red Line and will take you most places in DC. NOTE: There are 2 entrances/exits to the Dupont Metro Station - this is the North entrance. When you come back on the metro, be sure to exit towards "Dupont North". If you accidentally exit south, just go up the escalator, walk in a U until you see the statue in the middle of Dupont Circle, cross the circle and then walk to the right of the Starbucks (that's 19th St & will take you to my apartment).
