The DEA Museum & Visitors Center will be closing as part of an overall headquarters renovation. The final day the museum will be open to the public is Saturday, July 20, 2019. We plan to reopen to the public in fall 2020. During our closure, please take advantage of our online virtual exhibits and other educational resources. Like us on Facebook! Thank you for your continued support.
