Historical experience in Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture
Even though you'll probably cry while seeing the grounds, previous visitors praised this exhibit as "phenomenal" and highly recommended. However, keep in mind that this establishment is still relatively new, so you will need to get a free timed access card. The day at 6:30 a.m., same-day tickets are made available, and on the first Wednesday of every month at 9:00 a.m., advance passes for visits that are three months away are made available on the museum's ticket page. Until supplies run out, both are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, on weekdays beginning at 1 p.m., a limited number of walk-up passes are distributed.
By taking the National Mall bus from the DC Circulator or the Blue, Orange, or Silver lines of the Metro to Smithsonian station or Federal Triangle station, visitors can get to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture. Visitors have access to the museum's 12 galleries, as well as a gift shop, toilets, and the Sweet Home Café, with a walk-up or timed entrance card. There are no guided tours available, however, visitors can download the free mobile app for the attraction to hear audio narration about some of the museum's exhibits. Except on Christmas Day, the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day.
