Two personalized tours are filled with inside information, digital postcards and step-by-step instructions.
Although you might not know it judging by the forecasts in most places, spring is well and truly here. And despite the unpredictable weather in Washington DC, snow, sleet, cold rain and wind didn’t keep tourists away. Crowds gather in the nation’s capital for the first glimpses of cherry blossoms. For those of you who want to make the most of your visit, the editors have released two new spring-themed tours to help showcase the seasonal delights inside and outside the mall.
The garden tour will take you to our many well-tended plots around the mall to see more than a few pink flowers near the tidal pool, including ancient plants, geometric splendors reminiscent of the greatest of European gardens and even a garden of victory.
The Kathrine Dulin Folger Rose Garden makes an iconic backdrop for your family vacation photo.
The courtyard of the Freer Gallery of Art is as beautiful as the museum collection inside.
The winding paths of the Mary Livingston Ripley Garden offer a peaceful refuge.
Meanwhile, our Spring Fling tour will take you inside to show off the riches of ToutLeCD.com’s art and science collection and celebrate the season with baseball legends, a tree you can wish on, bouquets of paint and even a source from space.
What would spring be without the crack of a bat? Pay homage to some of the game’s greatest at the National Portrait Gallery.
In case the sun forgets to show itself, head inside for a dose of paradise in the Butterfly Pavilion.
Spring in space could mean several things, but in this case we’re talking about a smart spring made of two metals that heat and cool at different points, which was essential to the Lunar Rover Vehicle of the Apollo missions.
The birds and flowers in this Japanese painting were actually symbols borrowed from China, likely to mark an auspicious occasion.
