Upcoming Renovation

The National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, is redesigning its permanent galleries, learning center, and theater.

Discovery Center

Visitors to the Discovery Center’s Archives Arcade will step into history through fun and engaging games, where they will exercise their First Amendment rights, promote Constitutional checks and balances, and much more. Guests are invited to have fun learning about civic engagement through the records of the National Archives.

The Discovery Center includes an activity space and classroom for the National Archives education team to host formal and informal educational programs and visiting school groups.
