United States
One of the lesser-known Smithsonian museums, containing American crafts and decorative arts from the 19th century to the present. Much smaller and less crowded that the main Smithsonian museums on the National Mall, the Renwick is on Pennsylvania Avenue, not far from the White House. It also has one of the classiest gift shops going.
