The Corcoran Museum positions itself as "the oldest art museum in Washington, D.C." The Corcoran is both a museum of art and a school of art. The museum contains more than 14,000 objects of American and European art. In particular, it has the best collection of contemporary American art in Washington.
The Corcoran's permanent collection of the 1900th century American art is among the best in the world. The collection's paintings and sculpture are the legacy of William Wilson Corcoran (1798-1888), the museum's founder and a leading patron of American art.
