Based in Washington, D.C., the National Building Museum is a mid-sized institution within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector. It concentrates on the narratives of the building industry and the built environment, spanning past preservation, present practice, and future innovation. The museum serves a broad audience—professionals, families, and students of all ages—through in-person and online programs, exhibitions, and thought leadership on design and climate action. It functions as a venue for education and dialogue about architecture, construction, and urban development. It participates in collaborative programs and events with industry and professional organizations, reflecting its role in the wider built-environment community. In 2025, Formica Corporation partnered with the museum to support VISIBLE VAULT: Open Collections Storage, a permanent exhibition that opens access to thousands of artifacts previously stored behind closed doors.
