  • Very well done! The exhibit was moving and very informative- not more than two hours is needed- Great location and worth the admission.

  • I feel like very single person should visit this museum because it's eye-opening. Seeing the life-like sections of Slavery is heartbreaking and makes it more real than readingit in a book. How anyone....  more

  • I haven't visited this museum since I was a kid, but walking inside after so many years evoked the same feelings of awe and wonder that I felt back then. With the additions of the Barack Obama 44 exhibit and King Tut exhibit (here for a limited time) the African American History Museum has become a great place for everyone to learn about the black leaders that have shaped this country and the African American experience. Highly recommend!
  • Second time visiting since I worked here when I was in high school. Nothing much has changed at all. The exhibits are still so nice and well taken care of. So much rich and insightful information that celebrates black history. This is a place that offers an amazing view into the past and teaches us to never forget where we came from. Such a shame that many of the employees I once worked with either retired or quit. The employees I met today are very nice and still extremely strict on the rules. The tickets are reasonably priced at $15 and the parking is a close distant to the museum.
