Smithsonian's American Latino museum finds permanent home

Season 2026 Episode 208 | 5m 50s

For six years, the National Museum of the American Latino has operated without its own building, but that is about to change. In August, the Smithsonian's board of regents voted to give the museum a permanent home in the Arts and Industries Building on the National Mall. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Jorge Zamanillo, the museum's founding director.
