The National Museum of American History is home to the Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired the national anthem. That flag's "broad stripes and bright stars" have shaped the museum and its mission, as have the flags for every U.S. state and territory surrounding the building's terrace. Integral to the building design, these flags emphasize political unity and the museum's role in telling the stories of all Americans.
