The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino announced its first exhibition will open on June 18th.

The official opening of the National Latino Museum is expected to be in production for eight to twelve years, but the first exhibit premiere is to give the public a preview of what the museum will have to offer.

The exhibition opening this June will be called “¡Presente! A Latino History of the United States”. The exhibit will highlight and showcase the historical and cultural legacy of Latinos in the U.S. in conjunction with a website that includes oral histories, historical biographies, and 3D objects displayed at the gallery.
