About this file
This document is an Industry Day briefing for the National Museum of the United States Navy (NMUSN), scheduled for June 4, 2025, at the Washington Navy Yard. The briefing outlines plans for building a new national Navy museum, with a proposed campus in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, DC. The project aims to create a world-class museum designed to educate, engage, and inspire, with an expected annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors and a planned grand opening in 2030.
The industry day will feature multiple briefing sessions covering architecture, engineering, design, collections, exhibits, and museum operations. The project timeline includes key milestones such as site selection in October 2024, groundbreaking in October 2026, and phased construction through 2030. The museum development will be funded through a combination of private capital ($25M-$100M) and federal matching funds, with involvement from the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), National Museum Development Foundation (NMDF), and various design partners. Potential contractors and vendors are invited to attend, with interests spanning architecture, exhibit design, conservation, IT solutions, construction, and related services.
