Do you know a high school student who wants to spend a year abroad? The Council on International Educational Exchange, or CIEE, a nonprofit organization, is looking for students with U.S. citizenship who are between 15 and 18 (birthdates: Feb. 1, 2002 – Aug. 1, 2005) with a GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply for a fully-funded academic year in Germany.

We have officially left summer behind. But before it’s time to put up those Halloween decorations, there’s one can’t-miss-festival on the horizon: Oktoberfest!
Please note that the GAHM will be closed due to illness on Friday, Oct. 11. We are currently very short-staffed, and apologize for any inconvenience.
Tomorrow, October 6, is German-American Day 2019! In honor of this occasion, there will be a ceremony at the German-American Friendship Garden at 1600 Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC at 10 am.

On my morning Metro rides into Gallery Place, I can’t help but notice the large groups of tourists that stand on the left (incorrect) side of the escalators. These people come from all over America and around the world to visit the sights on the National Mall, get a picture with the White House, and observe the art in the National Portrait Gallery.
We wish you all a very happy Fourth of July holiday in the company of family and friends! As we celebrate the nation’s birthday, it’s a a good time to remember the many immigrants who helped build the country. Why not visit the GAHM this weekend and explore the contributions of German-Americans through the centuries?
