National Museum of Catholic Art and History, Art museum in Massachusetts Avenue, Washington DC, United States.
The National Museum of Catholic Art and History contains an extensive collection of religious artifacts, historic portraits, and contemporary artwork from Catholic artists.
Established in 1995 with Pope John Paul II's blessing, the museum first operated in East Harlem before relocating to Washington DC after financial difficulties.
The museum displays numerous pieces depicting influential Catholic figures, including Archbishop John Carroll and President John Kennedy, representing Catholic influence in American society.
The museum remains temporarily closed while fundraising efforts continue, with plans to resume operations at its Massachusetts Avenue location in Washington DC.
The collection includes representations of the Declaration of Independence featuring Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic signer of this historic document.
