Women’s History is American History: Building a Museum of the Future
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is expanding America’s story by uncovering and sharing women’s roles in shaping our nation. With a future home on the National Mall, groundbreaking discoveries, immersive digital experiences, and transformative educational programming, this museum will illuminate the multidimensional ways that women from across the country have influenced the American experience.
