Immerse in the World through Photography: National Geographic's New Museum Opening in 2026 | Release #361

The new National Geographic museum utilizes our extensive resources to provide visitors with an experience as if they are participating in actual exploration. The highlight is the 'immersive experience area,' where visitors can experience the role of real explorers.

This area recreates fieldwork in remote locations, allowing visitors to experience the real side of exploration. Additionally, a state-of-the-art theater with 400 seats screens impressive visuals and sound, showcasing the corners of the world.

Another attraction of this museum is the 'Nighttime Courtyard,' available only at night. This is Washington D.C.'s first outdoor projection mapping, where vivid images and sounds are projected onto the night sky, allowing visitors to enjoy a fantastic light and sound show.

Here, the beauty of nature and the diversity of the Earth are expressed in breathtaking images, inspiring deep emotions and raising awareness for a sustainable future.

At the 'National Geographic Museum of Exploration,' educational programs are abundant to help many children and young people cultivate an explorer spirit. Special programs are implemented during school group visits to foster curiosity and problem-solving skills.

Furthermore, accessibility considerations include braille and tactile maps, ASL media translation, and all-gender restrooms, ensuring all visitors can have a comfortable experience.

This museum will become a new cultural hub in Washington D.C., conveying the wonders of exploration to visitors and nurturing future explorers.
