About
This brand-new National Geographic museum opened in summer 2026 and is much more immersive than the old museum. Walk through a 270-degree theater that transports you to different landscapes, see incredible wildlife up close in the Photo Ark experience, and explore real gear, photography and artifacts from National Geographic expeditions. There are lots of interactive elements throughout, plus a global food hall with dishes inspired by different parts of the world.
