Informations supplémentaires

The Contemplative Court is a below-ground meditative space at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, marked by a cylindrical fountain that drops water through a skylit oculus into a circular pool. Positioned on Concourse Level 0, the Court forms a deliberate transition between the museum's emotionally weighted History Galleries and its Cultural galleries above, giving visitors a place to pause after moving through exhibits on slavery, segregation, and civil rights. The room's caramel-toned, copper-bronze laminated glass walls were fabricated by Bendheim in collaboration with the design team Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup, with David Adjaye serving as lead design architect and Philip Freelon as architect of record. Quotations engraved into the glass include words from Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., poet Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and singer Sam Cooke, each reinforcing themes of freedom, justice, and perseverance. The museum opened on the National Mall on September 24, 2016, as the Smithsonian Institution's 19th museum, dedicated by President Barack Obama. It remains the only national museum devoted exclusively to documenting African American life, history, and culture, occupying a five-acre site near the Washington Monument.
