Two Downtown Smithsonian museums are opening their doors July 13 for the final World Cup game to host a free, official viewing party open to the public!!
The National Portrait Gallery and the American Art Museum (located at 8th and F streets NW) together with the Embassy of Germany are setting up a 21-foot LED video wall in the museums’ enclosed and air-conditioned Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard for Sunday’s 3pm Argentina vs. Germany game.
