The National Building Museum advances the quality of the built environment by educating people about its impact on their lives. Chartered by U.S. Congress in 1980 as a private, nonprofit institution, the Museum is dedicated to examining the role of architecture, construction, design, engineering, landscape architecture, and urban planning in our culture.

Your investment in the National Building Museum will:

• Lead the public conversation in our nation’s capital about the critical impact architecture, engineering, and design have on society. The Museum serves as a bridge between the complex building industry and the public’s understanding of its role in our daily lives.

• Shape the next generation of building industry professionals. Your membership helps us continue to bring engaging programs and exhibitions to the public, including students, educators, and professionals like you.

• Showcase innovation found in all arts and sciences within

the built environment. Through thought-provoking programs and exhibitions, we engage people in the built environment and how it can impact our future.

With levels ranging from $1,000 to $15,000+, the Capital Society offers valuable benefits for every institution. At the highest level, the Capital Council for the Built Environment serves as a forum for strategic, interdisciplinary leadership.
