The Smithsonian announced earlier this month that it will be featuring its first-ever gallery to highlighting the experiences of Latinos in America.
The Molina Family Latino Gallery in the National Museum of American History will focus on Latino history through a series of bilingual exhibits that will include first-person narratives and experiences. The more than 4,500 square foot of space exhibit comes with a $10 million donation from the Molina family to the Smithsonian Latino Center.
“Latino history is American history, and we have a responsibility to reflect the stories and experiences of Latinas and Latinos in the U.S. today,” said director of the center, Eduardo Diaz.

The exhibits are expected to open in 2021.
