Reviews
"Beautiful gardens and architecture. Small museum inside too with information on all the other museums in the Mall."
"It's worth passing through the Ripley Center if you're visiting the Museum of African Art and/or the Freer/Sackler. Graphic Eloquence is always on display and worth seeing. The current temporary exhibit, Artists at Work, is an impressive array of works by Smithsonian staff. There are a couple of vending machines for reasonably priced drinks and snacks."
"Very nice side attraction when visiting the capital! Really enjoyed the exhibits. Everyone goes to DC for the show stopper attractions but really there is so much hidden within the cuty to enjoy. Strongly recommend a stop to take in as much of our nations history as possible."
"I loved this free museum more than any other. Impeccably clean, organized with lots of security taking care of the art exhibits. They had the Asian culture art and photography"
"The S. Dillion Ripley Centre (free entry) is one of many museum and exhibition venues located along the south side of The Mall in D.C. Opening hours are 10am to 5.30pm daily. This is a small, circularly shaped kiosk style building with a copper dome, situated between the Smithsonian Castle and the Freer Gallery. Upon entry, you descend several floors where you find exhibitions which change throughout the year. The underground exhibition area is directly linked to the Freer Gallery, Arthur M. Sackler Gallery and National Museum of African Art. As such, you can actually use the entry for any of these four venues and each any of the others including the Ripley Centre exhibition space. Note: The Smithsonian Ripley Centre webpage has information on current and upcoming exhibitions. This is worth a quick review if you are considering making a stop here during upcoming visits to D.C."
