4) There's a nice park next door with picnic tables to enjoy the outdoors.
If you're a tourist and short on time in DC, skip this one. if you're a local, visit this place at least once!
5) It's free and they host some great events also for free.
Not a Smithsonian that you would stumble upon but a great experience all DC residents should have. I recommend combining it with Trip to Frederick Douglas's home since it's a smaller museum. Staff is very warm and welcoming when you come in
I learned so much!! Currently displaying the Latinex Exhibition and it's awesome. A must see!! And it's free. Go do it.
Great opportunity to see I am Not Your Negro. Thanks to the groups that made it possible.
3) The building is beautiful and there are a few murals inside that are striking.

2) It only takes 15-30 minutes to go through so if you need a quick trip, it's for you.
What a great day to enjoy this hidden gem. Who knew this museum existed. Great spot to go to enjoy yet another peice of history.
