STUNNING building, only had time for the Futurism Exhibit but there is SO much to see. Stepped into the Contemplative Court for one second and tears instantly flooded my eyes. It is a sacred space. ?Going back and will update this review when I do.

Every black person in America must go there at least once in their life. Very eye opening exhibits

Lots to see and learn and be humbled by. You'll need a few hours just to see the popular History Galleries (slavery, Jim Crow, civil rights, etc.). Wish they had spread that stuff out more over more space.
From National Museum of African American History and Culture
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans. To date, the Museum has collected more than 36,000 artifacts and nearly 100,000 individuals have become members. The Museum opened to the public on September 24, 2016, as the 19th and newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
