Smithsonian Weighs Its Own Arts and Industries Building for Latino Museum Site

The Smithsonian is evaluating the Arts and Industries Building, its 1881 structure on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as a possible home for the National Museum of the American Latino, according to ARTnews. The institution already owns the building and already lists the museum at that address. Congress authorised the museum in December 2020. A Northwest Capitol site remains under consideration. No final decision has been made.
