National Museum of African American History and Culture
This September, Washington, D.C., will welcome
another state-of-the-art attraction, the National
Museum of African American History and Culture.
This new museum, which will be located on five
acres adjacent to the Washington Monument, will
present the story of America through the lens of
the African-American experience.
Galleries will include objects, photographs,
moving images, documents and art from many
periods of American history, such as the era of
slavery, the post-Civil War Reconstruction years,
the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights
movement.
Part of the Smithsonian’s family of attractions,
the museum also will offer a number of programs,
lectures and special events to complement its
displays and artifacts.
