Spring Open House
RegisterOn May 1, NMAD will be hosting an Open House to allow the public to view our multiple exhibits.
Visitors will have the opportunity to view our new Spotlight on Diplomacy exhibit on the 1924 Rogers Act: the legislation that created the modern-day U.S. Foreign Service. The exhibit will include items in our collection related to the U.S. Foreign Service, including Chinese flashcards used by new Foreign Service Officers in 1934, and a training pamphlet from 1950. NMAD staff will be on hand to answer questions and talk about the future of the museum.
Guests will also be able to view the Diplomacy Is Our Mission exhibit and the Signature Segment of the Berlin Wall exhibit.
This fall, the museum will be temporarily closing its doors to begin the next phase of construction on new exhibitions. As a result, this will be one of the last opportunities to view the Diplomacy Is Our Mission exhibit.
Attendees will be required to select one of the time slots. Guests are encouraged to depart by the end of their time slot. The following options are available until capacity is reached:
- 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
- 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
- 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Please RSVP by April 26, 2024.
