Does the NGA have a catalog? I've wondered how one would go about ordering from the National Gallery without knowing exactly what he/she wants to buy.

Updated to spell out National Gallery of Art--hoping to get an answer.

Hmmm...why the National Gallery of Art in particular? and not places like Art.com on the internet? Sometime in the near future I too want to find some quality art prints and wonder about the quality of the prints offered at all the online shops. Does anyone have a recommmendation? That being said, here's a link to the Delaware Art Museum's shop. You can buy a select few prints from their collections (Again, I cannot attest to the quality of the prints because I have not ordered anything from them, yet). I saw the amazing Pre-Raphaelite collection on loan at the St. Louis Art Museum. For a classical/religious theme check out Edward Burnes-Jones "The Prioress' Tale".

I buy coffee table books at used book stores for a couple of bucks, cut them apart, laminate the art and voila! Art prints for a fraction of the cost of ordering online. We have a huge treasure of art by collecting this way!

The NGA is recommended in Elizabeth's "Real Learning" book, but several of us have tried to order from them with no luck.

I am also collecting used art books, plus last week at Walmart in the frames section I saw a bunch of prints- $1 for small ones and $3 for large (maybe 11x15?) There were some by famous artists in there. I also keep an eye out for calendars with artists.

Do you mean ordering their educational materials that you take on loan or items to buy, there is a difference! WE have enjoyed art on loan in teacher packs in the past and been VERY happy with it, it's just like a library! And you get to keep them a really long time

Blessings!

Yes- you can order their loan catalog, and there is a great collection to chose from.
