The building itself is strikingly different from the marble halls that surround it, and its grounds evoke Native landscapes right in the center of Washington — with 28,000 plants trucked in from all over the continent. Studio 360’s own Ave Carrillo took a peak at the new National Museum while it was still under construction.
