The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum 

devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was

established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight

the contributions of African Americans. To date, the Museum has collected more than 36,000

artifacts and nearly 100,000 individuals have become charter members. The Museum opened

to the public on September 24, 2016, as the 19th and newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
