Today we visit the Corcoran Museum of Art, one of Washington's finest private art museums. We recommend you use the Farragut West Metro Station to start this tour.

We start off talking about the history of the museum, before going inside. (2:22)

Entering the museum, we pay our $6 admission each and head into the Treasures of European Decorative Arts Exhibit, where the highlights (for us) are the ceramics, the tapestries, the Salon D'Ore, and the Islamic Carpets. (8:04)

We play Lauren by DC singer-songwriter Sharif , which comes to us courtesy of the PodsafeAudio.com. (14:30)

We continue on to an exhibit on modern California Art. (19:47)

We continue on to two sets of photographs, one in the Corcoran Corridor, and one of the Iraq and Afghani wars. (21:22)

We visit the Rotunda, and the installation "Loop", which we have included a number of photographs of in our photo album. (22:03)

We finish up our visit to the Corcoran with a visit to the European Landscape Exhibit. (24:36)
