"Eight at a time, please — we're not the Air and Space Museum."
The Smithsonian's Smallest Museum Has Spent Nearly 60 Years Telling DC's Own Stories
Since 1968, the Anacostia Community Museum has operated as the Smithsonian's smallest museum, telling the stories of Washington, DC's own residents from a single exhibition room. It remains the only Smithsonian museum dedicated to a single city's communities, hosting up to eight visitors at a time. Its archive holds oral histories, photographs and neighborhood artifacts, and it marks nearly six decades of collecting the capital's local memory.
