National Museum of African American History and Culture

An engrossing visit to the soon to be open National Museum of African American History and Culture. 4 hours and we were still not done with all the exhibits.


A statue of Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, with a wall behind that had a slab for each of the slaves he "owned" at his Monticello estate.

They do know how to make a museum interesting. In India, we have all history, sadly most of the places are so badly in need of upkeep. Visited one in Delhi and it gladdened my heart after the visit to the Kolkata museum.
