Ocupa el Andrew Carnegie Mansion, una casa urbana de estilo georgiano de 1902 con 64 habitaciones que fue una de las primeras viviendas privadas de Estados Unidos en tener una estructura de acero y un ascensor para pasajeros. Fundado en 1897 por las hermanas Hewitt en Cooper Union, el museo se trasladó al Carnegie Mansion en 1976 y sigue siendo el único museo del Smithsonian que cobra entrada.
