African American Museum in Philadelphia
Philadelphia, USA


The African American Museum in Philadelphia is the first institution of its kind in the United States, established in 1976. Housed in a contemporary building, it focuses on the rich narrative of African American history and culture, showcasing artworks, artifacts, and a range of interactive exhibitions that highlight key contributions and events.
Allow for a couple of hours to fully engage with the exhibits, especially the remarkable pieces from the Civil Rights Movement.
