The museum encourages the collection, protection, and preservation of materials that reflect the history and traditions of families, organizations, individuals, and communities. The Anacostia Museum is responsible for the acquisition, care and preservation of 6,000 objects of a collection that dates to the early 1800's. This includes works of art, archeological material, furniture, photographs, audio tapes, video and musical instruments. The Museum is also involved in contemporary urban issues, including health care, transportation, housing and more. In existence for more than 30 years, the museum continues to involve community residents in its cultural documentation and preservation, facilitating the need for project planning and execution. It is located inside the Arts and Industries Building in the National Mall and it is part of the Smithsonian Institute.
