National Museum of African American History and Culture

Like many things in the COVID world, this great museum is closed right now….  I love the architecture of this building, which is so different compared to the rest of the Smithsonian facilities on the Washington Mall.  Good stuff.

National Museum of African American History and Culture

I don’t know about anyone else, but I think Washington DC is a beautiful city filled with history, culture and patriotic symbols.  I always enjoy walking around the monuments and buildings by myself at night.  During my last trip, I spent some time capturing a ton of images around this beautiful architectural marvel.

National Museum of African American History

This is a fairly new Smithsonian museum.  I haven’t had a chance to experience the inside, but during my last visit to Washington DC, I photographed the outside.  I must admit, it’s a pretty cool looking structure.  The sunset reflected nicely off this wide marble wall they have around the perimeter.

Smithsonian

I’ve been to Washington DC a number of times, maybe more than 20 times over the course of fifteen years.  During all those visits, I’ve never had the chance to visit any of the Smithsonian museums until our trip last August.  MJ and I went to visit a couple of friends and she took me to the museums (she’s been before without me).  I liked them all.  I took this photo inside the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.  If you’ve never visited these museums, put them on your “To Do” list.
