The Scurlock Studio and Black Washington: Picturing the Promise — a collaboration between the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the National Museum of American History — is currently on view in the NMAAHC gallery within NMAH. You have about two months to catch it; it closes on February 28. Construction of the NMAAHC’s permanent home on the mall is scheduled to begin in 2012, and its opening is scheduled for 2015.
This exhibit was designed by Christopher Chadbourne & Associates. I assisted with the graphic design.
