The National Building Museum transforms understanding of the history and impact of architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and design. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and special events, we welcome all ages to experience stories about the built world and its power to shape our lives, communities, and futures. The Museum resides in one of the most awe-inspiring places in Washington, D.C., with a soaring Great Hall, colossal 75-foot-tall Corinthian columns, and a 1,200-foot terra cotta frieze.
I really love this museum. It isn't a Smithsonian museum and has an admission cost for the main exhibits, it is well worth a visit. I have gone the last three trips and each one the special exhibit was well worth the moderate cost of admission. Also, I recommend the tour. You get to go upstairs to the fourth floor restricted area and can take pictures. Also learn a lot of fascinating history about this building itself.
Amazing place to take our teacup humans on a blistering summer day in D.C. to avoid the unforgiving heat and humidity. Lots for the little ones to touch, see and experience. No end to the amount of space for kids to run around and expend their endless supply of energy; they are guaranteed to sleep soundly after a visit!
Few exhibits for the $34 dollars it cost my family. Secret Cities exhibit was great. Why you can't take pictures in it is beyond me. Lots of things need to be added to the Museum in order for it to really be worth it. Store was nice with lots if stuff. Lego kits in the store had a large markup.
Tonight's event "Improving Racial Equity Through Greener Design" is based on the American Institute of Architects’ Blueprint for Better campaign to transform the day-to-day practice of architecture to achieve a zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, just, and equitable built environment.
Three great programs are happening this month online! Tomorrow's "Equity in the Built Environment" series follows conversations that focus on how buildings, landscapes, interiors, and streets can be the cause of—and, more important, the cure for—social and racial disparities.c
