The future is bright! The Museum is actively exploring space options in Washington, D.C. close to the Peace Corps Park site at the foot of Capitol Hill. We imagine an experience wherein visitors explore interactive exhibits on peace education, foreign cultures, and the history of Peace Corps at the Museum paired with a park visit that fosters reflection and community. Join the Museum’s 40+ volunteers and hundreds of supporters in bringing this vision to life.
