United States Holocaust Memorial Museum - building designed by James Ingo Freed

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, opened in 1993, occupies a building designed by architect James Ingo Freed that uses exposed concrete, stone, and stark geometric forms as part of its commemorative and interpretive architecture. The design and internal circulation are intentionally composed to support the museum’s permanent exhibition narrative and visitors’ experience of memory and witness. The museum includes permanent exhibition galleries, the Hall of Remembrance, and spaces for research and education.
