À propos
Faits rapides: Ce musée Smithsonian raconte les histoires du quartier Anacostia de Washington et des communautés environnantes à travers le prisme du changement urbain et de la résilience. Ses plus de 20 000 visiteurs par an explorent des expositions qui mêlent histoire locale et conversations nationales sur la culture, l'identité et la justice sociale.
Points forts: Trois immenses courtepointes sont suspendues dans la galerie centrale du musée, cousues à la main par des résidents locaux pour cartographier leurs souvenirs des monuments disparus du quartier. L'une d'elles représente l'ancien club de boxe Turner's Arena où Sugar Ray Robinson a combattu, cousue avec du fil doré sur un fond bleu foncé.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
