The residence of the British Embassy in Washington, DC, is an architectural jewel. Built in the late 1920s, it is Sir Edwin Lutyens' only house in America. The 10,000-plus visitors who come through every year admire the wonderful building and its fine display of art from the Government Art Collection.

Lutyens' building - traditional in form, modern in construction - lends itself admirably to the display of works of art which span more than 200 years, from the 18th to the late 20th centuries.
