About this experience

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a must-see spot in Washington, D.C. It’s right there on the National Mall, hard to miss with its unique design that looks like a crown. Opened back in September 2016, this place is all about celebrating African American life, history, and culture. From music and sports to the civil rights movement, it’s got stories that’ll make you think, feel, and maybe even dance.

What’s Inside?

Inside, you’ll find a treasure trove of stuff—over 36,000 artifacts to be exact. Want to step into history? Check out the old-school Southern Railway car or feel the weight of history at the Greensboro lunch counter, where protesters sat for equal rights. And you definitely can’t miss Emmett Till’s memorial; it’s both heartbreaking and a big part of why the civil rights movement caught fire.

Building this place wasn’t cheap; it cost over $540 million. That’s a lot of money, but it shows just how important it is to tell these stories. People and the government both pitched in, making sure this museum was something special.

Tips for Visiting

If you’re planning to visit, here are a few tips to make your trip awesome. First, grab your passes online before you go. It’s super popular, and you don’t want to miss out. The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, a more chill visit, so try to head over in the morning if you can. You can take photos, but leave the flash and selfie sticks at home. And since there’s so much to see, wear comfy shoes and take your time. Trust me, it’s worth it.

This museum is more than just a place to look at cool stuff; it’s a journey through the heart and soul of America. So, get ready to be moved, inspired, and maybe learn something new about the incredible contributions of African Americans to our country.
