The National Gallery of Art, Washington, is one of the nation's leading art museums, with important collections of European and American paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, drawings, prints, illustrated books, rare books, and photographs, and a very active program of special exhibitions, many of which are in subject areas beyond the purview of the Gallery's collections. Collections range in date from the 12th century to the present day. The Gallery's scholarly resources are among the best in the United States, including a major research library, photographic archives, and extensive conservation facilities. The Gallery also houses the Center for Advanced Study in the History of Art, with its visiting research scholars. The Gallery is chiefly supported by the U.S. Government. Of the approximately 850 staff, 275 are involved in the management, care and interpretation of art, including approximately thirty curators, forty educators, and thirty conservators and scientists. There are 450 volunteers working at the Gallery.
