National Museum of African American History and Culture opens

September 24

On September 24, 2016, the National Museum of African American History and Culture officially opened

In 2016, the National Museum of African American History and Culture finally opened for guests after 15 long years. The project started in 1929 under the Hoover administration but was never completed due to lack of funding. In 2003, Congress approved funding which lead to the creation of the historic museum. The museum was finally opened in 2016 during the Obama administration.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
