In-Person Exhibits

In celebration of Freedom 250, the revolutionary stories of the diplomats that helped secure the independence of America will be highlighted in NMAD’s upcoming exhibition Among the Powers of Earth. The exhibition will open to the public October 1, 2026.

In August 2024, the National Museum of American Diplomacy opened Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection, an exhibit featuring a selection of stories and pins from Secretary Albright’s famed collection.

To capture the unique architecture of the American Legation, the team at LEGO™ utilized a novel design approach, capturing the details from inside the courtyard and designing out towards the exterior walls. The LEGO™ Model was transported to the National Museum of American Diplomacy with the generous support of the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) and Crozier Fine Art.

NMAD is home to the “Signature Segment” of the Berlin Wall: a 13-foot high piece of the wall signed by 27 leaders and peacemakers. This segment, along with an accompanying exhibit on the Berlin Wall, can be viewed downstairs in the Founding Ambassadors’ Concourse.
