Last night we also went to the National Building Museum for its Summer Block Party Late Night, which takes place Thursdays in August. We snapped Smithsonian’s Simone Frank, researcher Anna Soloby, and RESOLVE's Erica Bucki, all excited to tour the BIG MAZE.

During late nights, the museum has extended hours, entertainment, and food. Here, the Hearn family: Tufts University's Conor, PCAOB's Jim, and PhD student Janet.

Hill Country Barbeque served BBQ beef and chicken, jalapeño sausage, potato salad, and cornbread; yum! Here, NIH's Jessica Guzman, Lindamood-Bell's Ruth Medina, and grad student Jessica Buzzell.

This week, guests danced to the band Matuto. Here, Democracy International's Claire Robertson, IREX's Anne Laesecke and Yuliia Yehorova.
