The National Museum of African American History and Culture, Smithsonian, Washington, DC

It would take many days to see everything in this museum.

The three floors below ground focus on African American history. We spent hours on the lowest floor, "Slavery and Freedom 1400-1877." It is hard to find the words to describe the exhibits on this floor. "Overwhelming" and "incomprehensible" come to mind. 

The upper three floors are about culture and community. We visited the "Culture Galleries." Images are below. This floor was more celebratory. It was also a reminder that some things have not changed.

Frederico Uribe's sxhibit, "Here Comes the Sun," at MASS MoCA, in North Adams, MA, is remarkable. 

He created a "magical, sculptural menagerie of animals crafted out of a variety of materials such as leather bags, bullets, shoelaces, and colored pencils."
