What this bill would do

The Display America's Art Act allows Members of Congress to display works of art that are currently held in storage. Under this bill, the Architect of the Capitol will establish and administer a Congressional Art Loan Program. This program involves art owned by eligible institutions that is not currently on display to the public. This art may be loaned for display in the personal and leadership offices of Members. The Architect and the eligible institution must determine that the art is available and appropriate for display.
