The Scoop: Since the museum frowns on patrons taking a painting home with them, visitors can be easily appeased with one of the prints from the National Gallery of Art gift shop. The shop features reproductions - both framed paintings and simple prints -- from its collections and exhibits. The medium sized, 11 by 14 unframed prints, are reasonably priced at $3 a pop. The selection covers almost every art period and genre. The store also features a wide collection of books on your favorite artists and art periods. Jewelry and stationary are also available. On the back wall is a large selection of posters.

The Scene: Feel like Dorothy stepping over the rainbow as you enter a caverness room filled with colorful paintings and prints. Be sure to keep walking all the way toward the back you don't want to miss a thing. Let the sight of all these grand masters inspire the artist in you. The peace and tranquility of this shop is a welcome relief from the rest of DC's crowded sights.

Insider Tips: Get 10 percent off your purchases when you join the Smithsonian for $29 a year - a membership that includes the Smithsonian magazine. The store can ship your choices and provide protective envelopes for your prints if you're traveling with them.
