There are many ways to explore the lives of presidents, activists, renegades, artists, writers, and other Americans who have a place in our national story. Our programs enable visitors to engage with these individuals and their stories through tours, artist talks, family programs and much more. Along the way, we hope you are inspired to reflect on your own story too.
Due to the government shutdown Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo are closed. We will update our operating status as soon as the situation is resolved.
