Summary
With Part II of our Walk along the National Mall, we'll continue our tour of the Smithsonian Museums, this time, on the North side of the Mall. Whether the structures are old or new, the millions of visitors who come here each year rarely look at the OUTSIDE of the buildings, and most know very little of the history of this place called the National Mall. BrightPath Tours has set out to change that! We'll continue the discussions we started in Part I, highlighting the history of the buildings, how they were built, and who bankrolled the projects—then we'll conclude with a look at some of the very modern elements that characterize the new museums of today.
Starting at the National Gallery of Art East building, we’ll walk down the Mall towards the Washington Monument and we'll end the tour at the National Museum of African-American History and Culture—a stunning museum and one of the newest in DC.
Join BrightPath Tours as we take you on this fascinating walk past the buildings that everyone enters, but few look at before they go inside!
