On December 27, 2020, legislation passed calling for the Smithsonian to establish the National Museum of the American Latino. The new American Latino Museum will be the cornerstone for visitors to learn how Latinos have contributed and continue to contribute to U.S. art, history, culture, and science. Additionally, it will serve as a gateway to exhibitions, collections, and programming at other Smithsonian museums, research centers, and traveling exhibition services.
