This place is awesome! It's an immersive experience. The displays are something that is experiential. Going into the 360° video board of the artistic area is like wow! The multitude of the diversity of visitors was so encouraging. Sadly the outside doors on the side we went into looked like the upkeep is lacking. And it is. But the interior is beautiful and super clean and organized. This is a crown jewel that all Americans should see.

You definitely need 2 full days to view everything, super comfy shoes are highly recommended! This place is filled with great artifacts and information! I am happy this is all on display. I discovered so many amazing nuggets of knowledge that I did not have before! All available for free (we should all offer some kind of donation to keep these doors open though!) Highly recommended!

It is a museum you must visit. Thorough story telling in the main galleries of the struggles and triumphs of African Americans and their ancestors. Definitely not a light exhibit, but one that is extremely important for all of us to learn about, regardless of whether you are a visitor or resident of the US. My DC friends informed me that you need to reserve a ticket and they book out quite quickly so I took what I can. In hindsight I would've book a ticket (FREE) for earlier in the day, because there were the other galleries I wish to spend more time in - especially the Music gallery up in level 3. I caught a few things in the closing moments of the museum. Would definitely visit again, if I was ever in DC again. P.S. it is definitely a museum you can easily spend half (if not the whole) day at - if you want to digest everything thoroughly. There is a line at the entrance of the main galleries after you enter the museum building and that can take a little longer.

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.

This was one of the highlights of our vacation! This place is absolutely amazing and rich with history. I was amazed with the pieces of African American all in one place and it was also a teaching experience for my young sons. They got a chance to see all aspects of our culture and where they descend from. Please if you’re in Washington D.C. make it a point to visit!
