Smithsonian 旗下的 National Museum of African American History and Culture 于 2016 年 9 月对外开放,是全美唯一一座完全致力于记录非裔美国人生活、历史与文化的国家级博物馆。整座建筑占地 35 万平方英尺,由 David Adjaye 领衔、Philip Freelon 与 Davis Brody Bond 组成的设计团队操刀;其外立面包覆着三层青铜色金属网幕,镂空图案呼应了美国南部昔日被奴役工匠打造的铸铁装饰工艺。建筑共计十层,其中五层位于地下。参观路线自最底层展开,History Galleries 从跨大西洋奴隶贸易讲起,沿坡道向上穿过种族隔离时期直至当代;随后可通往位于上层的 Community 和 Culture 展厅。在馆藏逾 4 万件藏品中,约有 3,500 件公开展出,涵盖一节可步入参观的 Jim Crow 时代隔离火车车厢,乃至 Parliament-Funkadelic 乐队标志性的 Mothership 舞台装置。
