Summary

The Anacostia Museum reopens in a new structure at 1901 Fort Place S.E., Washington, D.C., next to its laboratory-research center built in 1975. The new building is approximately 10 blocks from the Museum's former location and was developed by the architectural firm of Keyes Condon Florance. The exhibit "Contemporary Visual Expressions" also opens. Covering the work of contemporary black American artists, it runs until July 31.
