Om
Hurtige fakta: Dette Smithsonian-museum fortæller historierne om Washingtons Anacostia-kvarter og de omkringliggende samfund gennem linsen af byforandring og modstandskraft. Dets over 20.000 besøgende hvert år udforsker udstillinger, der blander lokalhistorie med nationale samtaler om kultur, identitet og social retfærdighed.
Højdepunkter: Tre store quiltede tæpper hænger i museets centrale galleri, håndsyet af lokale beboere for at kortlægge deres minder om kvarterets forsvundne vartegn. Et af dem forestiller den gamle Turner's Arena bokseklub, hvor Sugar Ray Robinson engang kæmpede, syet med guldtråd mod en dybblå baggrund.
Insidertips
- Visit the lower-level resource room where you can flip through oral history transcripts from longtime Anacostia residents.
- The museum shop carries work by local artists and authors you won't find at the larger Smithsonian gift shops.
- Pair your visit with a walk along the nearby Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, just 10 minutes away on foot.
- Photography is allowed in all galleries, but skip the flash to preserve the fabric details in the textile exhibits.
