This image captures the Contemplative Court located inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.

​Designed by David Adjaye as a space for reflection and quiet meditation, the court features a central cylindrical waterfall that descends from a skylight into a circular pool below.

The walls of the chamber are made of caramel-toned, bronze-laminated glass and feature engraved quotes from historical figures, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

Have you visited this space, or is it on your list?

Oh yeah!!!!
