The Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream, a new cultural institution exploring the American Dream, is opening this weekend in Washington, DC. The centre is opening on 20 September with a flagship exhibition titled American Dream Experience, a series of gallery spaces and immersive exhibits spanning five buildings and a new atrium. “The American Dream is the ideal that any person, regardless of background or where they start, should have the opportunity to pursue a life of meaning and fulfilment,” said Michael Milken, founder. For decades, our work has focused on the four pillars of the American Dream – education, health, finance and entrepreneurship. To celebrate the public opening, the museum is providing two days of activities and programming on 20 and 21 September.
