The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is located in Washington, D.C., and it is the only national museum dedicated solely to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. The museum was established in 2003 by an act of Congress and opened to the public in September 2016.

The NMAAHC features a variety of exhibits that explore the African American experience from the time of slavery through to the present day. It showcases artifacts, documents, photographs, and multimedia displays that highlight the contributions and struggles of African Americans in various aspects of American society, including politics, sports, music, art, and civil rights.

The museum also serves as a center for education and research, offering programs and resources for scholars, educators, and the general public to learn more about Black history and culture. Its goal is to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the African American experience and to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society.
