Overview

Revolutionary, fresh and bold sums up the African American Museum's vibrant collection. It's the first institution built by a major US city to house and interpret the life and work of African Americans, so it has an important cultural significance.

The exhibits cover the Civil Rights movement, arts, politics, family life, and a whole spectrum of topics. You'll also learn about the African Diaspora, the African Americans of Philadelphia, and issues important to the African American community today.

The museum aims to promote discussion and ongoing dialogue about these important issues, so interaction is encouraged.
