Hey DC, what's the best museum that's not part of the Smithsonian?

We had the pleasure of speaking with Aileen Fuchs, President & Executive Director at @BuildingMuseum, about the museum's mission to celebrate the built environment and drive meaningful conversations in the construction industry. Learn about the museum’s rich history, impactful initiatives, and how you can get involved. Join us in exploring the past, present, and future of construction! youtu.be/7vb6v0KfLF8
