Mera, Don i Jason Rubell col·leccionen art contemporani des del 1964 i, el 2022, van portar una part d'aquesta col·lecció a Washington amb l'obertura d'un espai expositiu de prop de 3.000 metres quadrats al barri de Southwest. L'edifici és l'antiga Randall Junior High School, una històrica escola pública per a la comunitat afroamericana construïda el 1906 i clausurada el 1978; els Rubell la van adquirir de la Corcoran Gallery of Art el 2010 i van encarregar a Beyer Blinder Belle que despullés les aules fins a deixar al descobert el maó, l'acer i els grans finestrals originals. Marvin Gaye en va ser alumne, i l'exposició inaugural, What's Going On, va manllevar el seu títol d'una de les seves cançons més cèlebres. El museu renova pràcticament tota la col·lecció exposada cada any, de manera que el que s'hi exhibeix poques vegades és el mateix, i l'entrada és gratuïta per a qui presenti un document d'identitat de DC.
