This Fall, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture is finally opening.  My anticipation has increased.  Per the NY Times Lens blog, upon the opening, there will be a photo exhibit documenting the 'Hip-Hop Golden Era' (time capsule).  The museum is set to open September 24th, but in the meantime get a glimpse of a few others appearing within the exhibit collection after the jump ::
