The National Gallery of Art announced on Twitter Saturday that it is now displaying additional paintings from the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s collection.

The art museum tweeted an image of a painting by artist Albert Bierstadt and said that it would release images and locations of the paintings soon.

In October 2014, the Corcoran began redistributing half of its 17,000-piece collection to the National Gallery. The rest was divided among other galleries and museums that could store the art.

In February, the National Gallery announced that it had acquired more than 6,000 works from the Corcoran collection, including works by artists like Edward Hopper and Edgar Degas.

From September to May, the National Gallery showcased almost 30 paintings acquired from the Corcoran in an exhibition called “American Masterworks from the Corcoran.”
