- LANCE O1,127 contributionsTalk about an added attraction, and I don't think many people either both to visit this incredible outdoor gallery...or they don't even know it exists. An amazing display of Henry Moore and Rodin sculptures is what I focused on, and more works by other sculptors as well...I was blown away.

So many food vendors of all types that we basically stopped at several places and shared many different things. Plenty of seating outside. It was fun to walk around that area and see other places as well.Written 26 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cjdotheworldSmithfield, VA1,366 contributionsThere are a number of shops, some below street level. The guys dishing our the product are colorful characters.

- Tia D8 contributionsHigh end shopping 🛍️, with delicious eateries, such as fig and olive. Tons of coffee shops for break, and it’s very chic and picturesque, if shopping in DC this is one of my faves, next to Georgetown!Written 6 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nick LEindhoven, The Netherlands71 contributionsIt definitely is not for everyone. I can imagine people feeling a bit dizy. We liked it but it's a bit overpriced for the time spent and the experience it gives
Cause we did the "date" tickets we got 2 glasses of sparkling wine and 2 cocktails, so with that and the experience the price is reasonable but still, after less than 70 minutes we were goneWritten 21 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were lucky-under other circumstances we would have missed this smaller, lovely museum. There was a wonderful special exhibit "Amazonagramas" by Roberto Huarcaya on the first floor and several permanent collections by 20th century artists on the upper level. We were able to leisurely and thoroughly enjoy the artists and architecture.Written 13 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Phi T1 contributionFletcher's Boathouse is always a treat to visit for a day on the water. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Fletcher's Boathouse is a huge treasure for the DMV area. Highly recommended.Written 27 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BetsyJersey City, NJ359 contributionsThis was mildly disappointing. While I’m sure it’s big for DC it was pretty small in the grand scheme of things. There were some good vendors but also a lot of junk (as to be expected). If you’re in the market for vintage cookware or posters, check it out. Otherwise, skip.Written 7 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Liz YangWashington DC, DC10 contributionsIconic D.C. institution. Hosts many famous VIP authors and public figures with their excellent in store lectures at this location and others.

- joren_fWashington DC, DC1 contributionWalked in and was greeted by the staff. There were multiple exhibits around different corners. Surprised to see so many mixed-media works.Written 22 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ruthpdxLake Oswego, OR83 contributionsThis store, housed in an old historic home, is just a short walk from the Anacostia Community Museum. It houses art made by people from all over the world who are of African decent. The items aRe for sale and proceeds go to support women's industries in impoverished countries.Written 9 June 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KCMLiveWashington DC, DC320 contributionsThe Anacostia Arts Center is a community friendly with a blackbox theater, cafe, and meeting space. I recently visited for a playwright's musical showcase, and was impressed with the beautiful artwork by local artists and bright airy spaces. The shops have awesome local products, books, clothing and jewelry, and the owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is available, but be sure to arrive in plenty of time to drive around to find a space. If you are planning a local arts event I would definitely recommend checking out the Anacostia Arts Center.Written 14 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
