Informations supplémentaires

The Contemplative Court is a memorial space on Concourse Level 0 of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Water falls from an overhead oculus into a circular reflecting pool, creating a curtain that separates visitors from the walls beyond. The room's caramel-toned copper-bronze laminated glass, produced by manufacturer Bendheim, was developed in collaboration with the museum's design team, Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup, led by David Adjaye as design architect and Philip Freelon as architect of record. Engraved quotations from Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Sam Cooke line the walls, reinforcing themes of freedom, justice, and perseverance central to the museum's narrative. The court functions as a deliberate pause point, situated between the below-grade History Galleries, which trace slavery through the civil rights era, and the Culture galleries on the floors above. The National Museum of African American History and Culture opened on September 24, 2016, as the Smithsonian Institution's 19th museum, dedicated by President Barack Obama. It is the only national museum devoted exclusively to African American life, history, and culture, and it sits on a five-acre site at the northeast corner of the Washington Monument Grounds on the National Mall.
