During this time of government shutdown, and as we appear to be on the brink of a potentially catastrophic default, it seems like a good time to look at some of the artistic bounty held by U.S. government entities. We are wealthy indeed as you can see at Google Art Project:
The White House (139 items)
National Gallery of Art (181 items)
National Portrait Gallery (192 items)
Smithsonian American Art Museum (149 items)
Freer-Sackler Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art (207 items)
Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (1,568 items!)
