What's next for the National Geographic Museum?

The National Geographic Museum is an ideal destination for curious people of all ages.

As the Society steps into a new era of exploration, we are transforming our public space, our beloved home of the Explorer, to advance our commitment to exploring, protecting, and illuminating the wonder of our world.

Due to construction, the National Geographic Museum will be temporarily closed as we reimagine our Base Camp experience. For a first look at the new space, as well as regular updates, please visit our Base Camp page.
