The National Building Museum is a forum for the development, exploration, and exchange of ideas. Created by an act of Congress in 1980, the National Building Museum has become one of the world’s most prominent and vital venues for informed, reasoned debate about the built environment and its impact on people’s lives.
Open exhibitions include Storefront Churches: Photographs by Camilo Jose Vergara; Form and Movement: Photographs by Philip Trager; Green Community; Investigating Where We Live; Cityscapes Revealed: Highlights from the Permanent Collection; and Washington: Symbol and City.
Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
