National Museum of African American History and Culture Collections
The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) opened on September 24, 2016, an historic event 100 years in the making. The museum's collections are the result of the generous support of many donors, as well as institutional support from within the Smithsonian. Many of the objects selected here can be viewed in the new museum's Musical Crossroads gallery.
