The Smithsonian Institution’s annual Folklife Festival starts today with a trio of cultural expositions filling the National Mall. This year’s focuses are the country’s land-grant colleges, arts from east of the Anacostia River and the 25th anniversary of the AIDS Quilt.

The 47,000 hand-sewn panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt will go on display in D.C. this summer, the first time that the quilt has been in D.C. since 2004 and first time it will be on display in its entirety since 1996.
