Give an afternoon to stories that reshape how you see America.

The plan

Give an afternoon to stories that reshape how you see America.

Make it your kind of day

You do not have to see everything in one visit. Pick the part that interests you most and give it proper attention; a few memorable objects or ideas can make a better afternoon than racing through every room. Leave a little time afterward to talk about what stayed with you.

Before you go

Reserve a free timed-entry pass. Monday opens at 10am on federal holidays; closed December 25.
