National Geographic Society

1145 17th Street, NW

The National Geographic Society is one of the world?s largest nonprofit scientific and educational institutions. While the society helps to advance scientific inquiry and geographic knowledge across the globe, its international headquarters is right here in DC.

The DC headquarters is also home to the world?s only National Geographic museum, which hosts a variety of exhibits, speakers and films. For students with interests in geography, science or anthropology, few organizations can offer more compelling learning opportunities than National Geographic.
