About This Event
The Smithsonian is the world’s largest museum and research complex, headquartered in the heart of Washington, DC, and “FUTURES” is our first major exploration of the future. It’s a massive part-exhibition, part-festival that takes over the entirety of the Arts + Industries Building (AIB), a historic landmark that opened in 1881 as the country’s first U.S. National Museum. “FUTURES” is dedicated to exploring many possible futures on the horizon, through art, technology, design, and innovation, and creating a sense of hope and empowerment.
In partnership with the NFL and NFLPA, “FUTURES Field Day” on Saturday, May 28 will be our big moment to celebrate and explore the future of sports – through inclusion, joy, movement and creating an equal playing field for all bodies, backgrounds, and ages to get involved or get started in sports. We’re taking over the National Mall for the entire day, as well as creating pop-up experiences in the exhibition itself.
