Lonely Planet review

Originally a neighborhood gathering place, the Anacostia Museum expanded into a regional heritage center celebrating black history and culture and is now operated by the Smithsonian Institution. Rotating exhibits focus on the transatlantic slave trade, the earliest free black communities in the New World and art, photography and sculpture by black artists. There are free concerts, films and workshops during Black History Month (February).
