“Capital Brutalism was originally slated to conclude on February 17 but has been extended to June 30, 2025 due to popular demand.”

From the National Building Museum:

“The National Building Museum announced today that it will extend its Capital Brutalism exhibition through Monday June 30, 2025. This exhibition has sparked intense media and public interest as it tells the story of how D.C.’s Brutalist architecture helped reshaped the city in the mid-century. Capital Brutalism explores the history, current state, and future of seven polarizing buildings and the WMATA Metro system in Washington, D.C. The exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Angela Person, associate professor of architecture at the University of Oklahoma, and architectural photographer Ty Cole.

Capital Brutalism was originally slated to conclude on February 17 but has been extended to June 30, 2025 due to popular demand.”

“We are thrilled to extend Capital Brutalism at the National Building Museum. If popular culture is any guide, there is a renewed interest in this controversial architectural style that is so prevalent in D.C.” said Aileen Fuchs, the National Building Museum’s President and Executive Director. “Hollywood has elevated the style with the new, award-winning film, The Brutalist. Our exhibition provides additional historical context for Brutalist architecture and inspires visitors to rethink their perceptions of beauty and equity as we consider the future of these Brutalist buildings.”

MUSEUM HOURS – Thursday – Monday, 10 am – 4 pm. Capital Brutalism is located on the second floor. Tickets: $10: Adults; $7: Youth (ages 3-17), Student with ID, Senior (ages 60+); Free: Museum Members. Purchase tickets online
