The National Gallery is not part of the Smithsonian, but it is related to it
in the same way that the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the
Holocaust Museum are.  All four are separate institutions that have been
established by the same act of Congress.
 
The phone number for the National Gallery's Publications and Sales Office is
(202) 842-6466.
