This is our second time visiting this museum! It is one of our favorites outside of the DMV area. The staff are engaged and friendly. Great water views and great views of the Ravenel Bridge. We were also able to see a Navy ship as well. The museum is close to the Fort Sumter museum and Aquarium if you would like to make a day of it and visit everything
The history in this place was a lot to consume but worth the tear holding back moments. The ability to search one's family members was a gem that takes you back down memory lanes and will have you calling family members to get names and birth info. Stay in the museum for 3 hours and still didn't absorb all that wealth of knowledge, so a plan for another trip back is on the calendar already. The best part was watching a father have his sons read and explain it to him or to explain to them the ones they couldn't truly understand.
I wish we had more time to visit! This is a true treasure! I do wish it spoke more about the Gullah outside of Charleston. As someone of Gullah decent from Florida, it would be nice to see the whole story. The museum is South Carolina heavy, which is good, but that's just part of our story. I do love the audio visuals and it gives the Smithsonian museum a run for its money in that. This is a must see stop!
The International African American Museum was a powerful and moving experience. The museum offered a profound look at African American history. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, with a mix of interactive displays and powerful narratives that guide you through the journey from African roots to modern day struggles and triumphs. The staff were knowledgeable and the space is welcoming and beautifully laid out. It’s a must visit for anyone wanting to understand the depth of African American culture and history.
So glad we came...we will be back..incredible layout that includes videos, art, pictures, writings...so much more..we highly recommend IAAM . I encourage everyone to come... bring children and yur children's children..in other words EVERYONE!!! We plan on returning and bringing family..making this a family reunion so to speak!! Keep in mind this incredible institution is large...plan on being there several hours IF you want to capture all that is there. Oh, best to purchase your tckts online, you will also go through security chk point. Great perk...you get wristband which allows you to leave if you want a break grab somethg to eat outside of museum..they do have a restaurant inside..looked nice but we had already eaten before arriving.
