Informations supplémentaires

The Contemplative Court draws visitors to its benches at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, where a cylindrical fountain sends water through a skylit oculus into a circular, lit reflecting pool. Set on Concourse Level 0, the room functions as a deliberate pause between the museum's emotionally demanding below-grade History Galleries and its Cultural galleries above. Caramel-toned copper-bronze laminated glass walls, produced by Bendheim, enclose the space, developed in collaboration with the design team Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup, with David Adjaye 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, together reinforcing the court's 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 occupies a five-acre site near the Washington Monument and remains the only national museum devoted exclusively to documenting African American life, history, and culture, drawing millions of visitors annually to reflect on its exhibits.
