HOST YOUR SPECIAL EVENT IN A GRAND SETTING, THE FIRST

PERMANENT SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM.

REOPENING IN EARLY 2016!

� e Arts and Industries Building was the � rst Smithsonian building dedicated solely to the display of the national collections. Located on the National Mall, it was completed in 1881 in time to host President James Gar� eld’s Inaugural Ball.

A� er a major structural renovation, this national historic landmark will reopen as a special events venue in early 2016. Four dramatic halls and a central rotunda, available separately or together, serve as majestic settings for seated dinners, standing receptions, presentations, and other events. Events can be enhanced by incorporating the adjoining Enid A. Haupt Garden.

Corporations and organizations supporting the Smithsonian with a contribution may celebrate their gi� by co-cosponsoring a special event in this landmark building.
