In the latest milestone of the Smithsonian Campaign, the National Museum of American History has reopened its second-floor West Wing under the theme The Nation We Build Together. The newest phase in the museum's transformation includes exhibitions that explore American democracy, American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith; religion, Religion in Early America; and the people and communities that make up this diverse nation, Many Voices, One Nation. The wing's transformation has been made possible by more than $30.4 million in private support.
