Visitors will enter the building through an 11-foot yellow rectangle, as a nod to the magazine’s classic yellow border. NatGeo’s headquarters, affectionately nicknamed “Base Camp,” already occupies an entire city block on 17th St. NW. The revamped museum will be the largest expansion in the organization’s 136-year history.

In Washington, D.C., the Museum of Exploration will serve as an expansion of the permanent exhibits already at its headquarters, and will also feature immersive exhibits containing artifacts and work from explorers. There will be a 400-seat theater to showcase showcase NatGeo films, an education center, a restaurant and a “nighttime courtyard experience” with audio and visual media.
