Fascinating and detailed examination of African American History
I spent more than four hours at the museum. It is very impressive because it details African American History from its beginnings up through the modern era. The information is well presented through narration, objects, videos, photos, and art. It is comprehensive and fascinating. At the present time, visitors must reserve a timed ticket in advance. I highly recommend it.

This is a god museum, but not an exceptional one
This new museum that you still must book a visit in advance is very popular and highly appreciated. I recommend that you check if you can get a ticket for the same day, it is possible to get one. So, do not give up if you cannot find one some days before your visit. The building is very modern, and not very nice in my view. This in in sharp contrast to all the old museum buildings and the modern Native American museum. The interior is much better. The museum gives you a very depressing tale of the Afro-American in the US. This story is very well known even for a Swede, but all the details make livider. Then I was young I thought that the southern states in US and South Africa were equally bad. There are many different aspects that are illustrated but, in my view, often to rhapsodic.
