À propos
Faits rapides: This Smithsonian museum tells the stories of Washington's Anacostia neighborhood and surrounding communities through the lens of urban change and resilience. Its 20,000-plus visitors each year explore exhibitions that blend local history with national conversations about culture, identity, and social justice.
Points forts: Three massive quilts hang in the museum's central gallery, hand-stitched by local residents to map their memories of the neighborhood's vanished landmarks. One depicts the old Turner's Arena boxing club where Sugar Ray Robinson once fought, stitched in gold thread against a deep blue background.
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.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.

À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Washington, United States, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
