As the newest jewel in the Smithsonian Institution's crown, the National Museum of African American History and Culture seeks to understand American history through the lens of the African American experience. It is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was established by Act of Congress in 2003 and opened to the public on September 24, 2016.
