Museum of the Americas
Organization of American States
Washington, DC


Greg Powe is Development Director for the Museum of the Americas Foundation for a new 200,000 square foot museum celebrating the visual and performing arts of the cultures of the Americas, at the Organization of American States Headquarters campus in Washington, DC. The new Museum is planned to celebrate the cultures of all of the peoples of the Americas through exhibits from folk to fine art, a performing arts theater and other performance venues, a restaurant of the Americas and museum shop. It will integrate the existing functions of the OAS library and archives into the museum’s major education center. The Museum will incorporate the historic Pan American Union Building and extend three stories below grade, connected by a dramatic skylit atrium. The Museum will preserve the historic nature of the building fronting on the Mall while at the same time creating dramatic new public museum spaces.
