The Anacostia Community Museum provides an insight into life in urban communities, examining, documenting, and interpreting the impact that both contemporary social and historical issues have had on these communities. Rotating exhibitions are often focused on human stories and are a source of community partnerships. During the summer, the museum offers a free shuttle that picks up and drops off at the Anacostia Metro station and the National Mall. The new Bridging the Americas permanent exhibit showcases the stories of people from Panama who migrated to Washington, D.C., from the California Gold Rush era up until 2014.
