The story
The National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) is the first museum in the United States dedicated to telling the stories of American diplomacy. The museum is currently under development and is raising funds for its completion through a public-private partnership with the Diplomacy Center Foundation. NMAD is located at the 21st Street entrance to the Harry S Truman Building in Washington, D.C. where the U.S. Department of State is headquartered. The National Museum of American Diplomacy falls under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Public Affairs. It was called the United States Diplomacy Center before being renamed in November 2019.
