Overview
The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the Smithsonian’s newest undertaking, intended to establish a place "where all Americans can learn about the richness and diversity of the African American experience." Established through Congressional legislation in 2003 by President George W. Bush, the Museum broke ground in 2012 under President Barack Obama and is slated to open on the National Mall in Washington, DC, in the Spring of 2016. This will represent the 19th museum of the Smithsonian Institution, and the only national museum devoted to African American history and culture.
