The construction of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, located on the National Mall in Washington DC, near the Washington Monument, was well underway as of January 2015. Scheduled to open in 2016, this museum is dedicated to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. Designed by the architectural team of Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup, the museum's distinctive exterior features a bronze-colored corona inspired by the three-tiered crowns used in Yoruban art from West Africa. As part of the Smithsonian Institution, the museum aims to provide an inclusive and rich narrative of African American contributions and experiences. The progress of the construction in early 2015 showed significant advancements in the structural framework, reflecting the meticulous planning and effort involved in creating this landmark institution. Upon completion, the museum would house numerous exhibits, artifacts, and multimedia displays to educate and inspire visitors about African American history and heritage. The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture stands as a significant addition to the National Mall, enhancing the cultural landscape of Washington DC and offering a profound exploration of American history.
