According to Stacy and Emily, the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is one of the best places take a break if you get tired while walking around the National Mall and visiting museums. (And boy, did I get tired! Did you know that the National Mall is two miles long? It stretches all the way from the U.S. Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial.)
Here are the sculptures that I visited:
Six-Part Seating (this is the only one you are allowed to touch)
House I
This one is really neat. As you walk past it, the house seems to change the direction it is facing. Here is a video that shows it.
Cheval Rouge (Red Horse)
This is Stacy's favorite sculpture. She also really likes the mobiles that Alexander Calder made, like this one that is on display inside the National Gallery.
Spider
This is Emily's favorite sculpture. She is a botanist (someone who studies plants), so it makes sense that her favorite sculpture is one of a tree.
