The National Museum of African Art was originally formed in 1964 as a private educational foundation devoted to the traditional arts of Africa. Today, the museum houses over 7,000 artifacts from sub-Saharan Africa, including masks, carvings, gongs, clothing, and more. These artifacts represent hundreds of African cultures as well as the work of contemporary African artists. These are displayed in addition to numerous traveling exhibits.
The National Museum of African Art is known for its architecture as well as its renowned collection. Along with the Freer Gallery of Art (Sackler Gallery), the National Museum of African Art is one of the Smithsonian's two underground museums. The rooftops of these two neighboring museums meet behind the Smithsonian Castle to form the Enid A. Haupt Memorial Garden, the world's largest rooftop garden. The use of public transportation in Washington is recommended as free parking is limited and posted times are enforced. Metrorail, Washington's subway system, and Metrobus link the city with nearby communities. Taxis also are convenient. Every subway station is equipped with an elevator and most with escalators.
