After more than two years of renovations, the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C., reopened this weekend.
This was the museum's first time undergoing full renovations since its initial opening in 1987.
The museum, located at 1250 New York Ave. NW near Metro Center, is debuting brand-new galleries and exhibition spaces featuring the work of female artists.

The museum also returns with its inaugural exhibition, "The Sky’s the Limit," which focuses on 12 artists' groundbreaking work in large-scale sculpture.
The weekend’s festivities includes art-making activities, interactive entertainment, live performances and spotlight conversations on special exhibitions. To celebrate its opening weekend, the museum offered free admission on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22. However, tickets are sold out.
Going forward, tickets will be $16 for adults and $13 for seniors. It's free for visitors under 21, personal care attendants and visitors with disabilities.
