Reviews
"I've been trying to get in this building since it opened I went with my daughter and her girl scout Troup. Loving it. My legs and hips were hurting after all that walking but it was worth it. I Love my black history."
"Excellent experience. This place is full of emotions, history and great atmosphere. There is a waterfall on the ground level that you cannot miss. Emotions may run high, so take some tissue. There will be people here from different cultures and believe, so pay no mind to what may come out of people's mouth. My overall experiences superb and I highly recommend this place for anyone of any age."
"I have been wanting to visit since it opened and finally got the chance. It's a spectacular museum with in depth history, many historical artifacts and a lot of information. There is also audio and video content interspersed throughout the exhibits. We were there for about 2 hours, though we could've stayed longer. The current Afrofuturism exhibit is great too. Lots of pop culture memorabilia, music, film and costumes. Admission is free (donations are welcome). It's best to plan ahead and book your timed entry ticket in advance as times do fill up!"
"Lots to see here. Give yourself lots of time to go through the exhibits. They update the upper sections more frequently. I recommend going on a week day. I was last here on a Sunday in feb. It was busy but no wait. It can get very busy at other times. The food in the cafeteria is also tasty if your not in the mood for the food trucks outside. You can also walk a few blocks for more food options."
"We have visited many museums and sites devoted to civil rights around the country. This was our first visit to the National Museum. We also saw they had an award winning cafe with a special menu of southern specialties for Christmas. We started with that for a fabulous lunch then started our trip through the museum. Starting with the early history of the slave trade and continuing through black people's journey through US history to today made for one incredible emotional experience. We spent nearly 5 hours absorbing as much detail as we could."
