The first museum of its kind, the National Museum of American Diplomacy is dedicated to the history, practice, and challenges of American diplomacy, as told through the stories of the vast network of people that work together to share the values and culture of the United States abroad. All procedures from the Diplomacy Gala will benefit the Diplomacy Center Foundation.
