Reviews
"The Compton Art and History Museum is a great intimate spot. I went during the “We Want to be Free” exhibition in April 2024. The creator of the museum, Mark, was there and was super friendly. I loved seeing the art pieces and learning more about MLK’s legacy in SoCal. There was a fun chalk wall that guests could add to. Overall, the experience was awesome and I recommend checking out this lovely museum!"
"I’m happy to see that Compton has its own Art & History Museum! Such a beautiful space with beautiful staff! The “We Want to Be Free” exhibit had some dope photographs and an interactive chalk wall that I really enjoyed :)"
"A very small art gallery in the heart of Compton sharing history and art from the area by local artists. When we went, there was a gallery on Martin Luther King Jr when he visited Compton and the Black lives matter march on Washington. The display of the photography was beautiful, and although it was small you could tell a lot of love was put in to the design. They also have a great selection of books, shirts and other items that their gift shop. I would definitely return for their next gallery."
