The Kennedy Center

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is located along the Potomac River, and is the nation's busiest performing arts center. The site offers many shows free of charge, as well as some of the most exclusive events in Washington.

Three large theatres are inside, with smaller satellite theatres surrounding them. The Grand Foyer connects them all and is one of the world's largest rooms. Along the ceiling are 16 hand-blown chandeliers that were a gift from Sweden.
