I didn't notice this place when I walked past the Douglas DC-8 plane. It felt like the park office of the entire venue. It's a museum. So glad I went to visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which showcases individuals in history. I felt like its very limited in terms on what they have in terms with subjects like racism, slavery or least mentioned of the riots of 65 & 92 well that was my expectations since I previously listed one in DC felt like had one in Cali. The building is alright. I found myself wanting to experience it and I did staff very friendly and kind would give it a try while you can before you visit the History and Science in that location.

The museum is interesting, but kind of small and you can see everything very fast. It's good if you want to have a fast glimpse of the history and see some exhibits. The entry is free and there is no need for a booking. All in all it was an interesting experience.

Had the pleasure of taking a group of Students to visit CAAM last week as we celebrate Black History Year ✊🏾 We had a guided tour of the Dear Mazie Exhibit. It was very powerful to learn about African American pioneer women as architects in the 40s. Can't wait to bring my daughter for another tour πŸ’œ

The California African American Museum is a beautiful and inspiring space that highlights the incredible work of Black artists, architects, and visionaries. It was smaller than I expected, but very well maintained and thoughtfully curated. Each exhibit was engaging and educational, with a great mix of history and modern artistry. I truly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. A wonderful celebration of culture and creativity!
