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.

Exhibits

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.

Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
