Corcoran Gallery of Art

The Corcoran Gallery of Art was founded to house the private art collection of William Wilson Corcoran (1798- 1888). Born in Georgetown in 1798, Corcoran was the son of an influential merchant and former mayor.

The Corcoran's extensive collection of 18th, 19th, and 20th century American art represents most significant American artists. The Corcoran possesses a fine collection of European art as well. While continuing its efforts to represent historic American works, the gallery also encourages modern European and American artists by showing and purchasing their work, paying particular attention to artists in the Washington area.
