Museum Reviews
PotittOkay, thanks. I can't find it this time. We can't find it in the app. I want to watch it on location in the world, but I don't know what to do. It won't cost around lunchtime. I can't find it online. I don't even have Java. I'm in Tashkent. I'm selling, manufacturing, and selling.
Please note that the Museum is closed. We made the trip only to find it closed. Do not confuse with the Smithsonian Museum of African American History.
Amazing museum, a lot of history. The museum has approx 6 floors, and I spent 2hrs on just one floor - so I would recommend multi visits to cover the entire museum
10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone in the entire world. Best museum I’ve ever been to. I started on the bottom oldest time zone floor. With my friend and just based off on that one floor we had a three hour lunch with riveting conversation inspired by what we saw. Now I’m gonna come back this year and we’re gonna do level two. And then we’re gonna have a conversation in that cafeteria again because the food is so delicious and then I’m gonna come back Next year and we’re gonna do the last level. Seriously life-changing.
Go early and spread your visit out over a few days. There's so much to learn within and it can't be done in a couple of hours.
I was disappointed to find out that they were closed for renovations especially when Google and safari both said it was open. The outdoor display was great.
It was nice,I want when I visit my daughter and granddaughter.it was really nice
Fabulous museum! You could spend 1 entire day there. We spent 4 hours there and I feel like we missed some of it. Lots of walking so wear comfortable shoes. There is a cafeteria downstairs if you want to eat or drink anything. There is also a gift shop.
Is a museum close by that is close for renovation. The monument deserves to be clean and properly maintained by the county and the city.
In our first visit to Washington DC we decided to take the kids to see the Africain American American Museum it was so beautiful and amazing alors of things to see and discover my kid really loved it
This was such a positive experience. There’s so much to take in and observe you definitely could go two days in a row or every time you go to DC. the place is frequently updated and I love the care and attention put into this museum.
When I spent my time in the African American Museum I felt increasingly isolated and unwanted during my visit. The unkind behavior of the employees only added to my feelings of worthlessness and distress. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt like I was being scrutinized and judged unfairly. The incident in the gift shop, where I was accused of shoplifting, was particularly humiliating and degrading. It made me question my own worth and left me questioning whether I even belonged in such a place. The slamming of the door by an employee only served to reinforce the negative experience I was already having, leaving me with a lasting impression of disrespect and mistreatment. I would not recommend visiting this museum again.
Free little monument in the heart of a busy area. Underground train station entrance in the same area.
One amazing experience, can spend hours here studying and seeing each step of this beautiful culture. Learned a lot and definitely must go back to see more of it . Definitely a must visit museum
The museum was amazing for spotlighting African Americans in history from slavery to current events!!!
A MUST SEE IF ON A TRIP TO DC! I decided to go on a weekday to avoid the crowd.I recommend booking a scheduled time on their website first to bypass the entry queue.From the accurate timeline of history (early days of slave trade to modern slavery) to the well articulated story’s and narratives, you will leave this museum with a sense of soberness, humility and joy as to how far we have come as humans.The 2 hours we spent taking in all the history definitely wasn’t enough. If you really want to get a full experience, I recommend dedicating a full day to the museum!
I truly enjoyed visiting the African American Civil War Museum and received a very informative history lesson from the Director before I wandered around! There was also an event going on but I was still able to get some great pics!! Will definitely be going back so I can see more!! Great place to visit!! So much HISTORY!!
Text heavy exhibitions, but boy is it all needed and important information. The museum tells a comprehensive story of the black soldier via the black experience at large, including time periods well before and after the Civil War. Staff is A++++. One of the few museums that offer equally compelling experiences for visitors AND DC residents alike.
