a great museum celebrating the art and contributions of african americans. had a wonderful time here on MLK day!

Super experience.

I had come to see a match. I made a detour to see Endeavor.
I had as a bonus full of airplane, capsule, satellite, the Endeavor tank and others.
The interactive experience and accessibility to the youngest even the smallest out the place of the lot. I'll be back.
I would say more than that I come back to LA it will also be to bring my children.

Free for the whole museum, to see Endeavor $ 3 but worth it. As a bonus a great gift shop in the building.

So educational recommend to all spend a good 5 hours

Grew up taking Summer Art Workshops @ CAAM! Cartooning + Tie-dye + Batik + Calligraphy + African Dance! A neighborhood treasure!

Our school Angeles Workshop School goes on weekly field trips, and our students love visiting the California African American Museum at least once a year. The exhibits are always powerful, relevant, and engaging!

Great place to learn up on history of the african- american community. There are also artworks in the different chambers. There should be more artifacts on display though

At the front desk they said that I could take pictures without a flash. A few moments later a older lady said I couldn't take pictures. Please have communication with people on that if it is so.

They accept student discount which is awesome. This place is located in a beautiful place. The Academy of Science has everything all in one and kids can be here for hours. It has a globe like rainforest system and below that is the aquarium. They have their exhibits like an earthquake simulation and a rooftop garden section.

I enjoyed the museum. Lot of historical American footage, pictures.

Went on a cute date here, didn t work out but it was nice.

Free and lots of really dope exhibits including hip hop photography a current exhibit featuring Overton Loyd. I would definitely revisit if I'm ever In LA again.

today was the free museum day. this section was not crowded, but, the exhibits were good and the facilities were nice and clean. not many african american pieces though...

Love the type of art display they have very cultural and unique and plus is donation based they have new exhibitions displayed almost every month definitely look into it

Always free to come and they have a donation box so you can support them.

It's great to visit here on this special day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s


remember to prepare $12 parking fee

It was a quick educational place to go and it's free. It was nice to see black history displayed.

Great place to hang out especially when kcrw has events there

Love, love and more love. Great information and great individuals who are knowledgeable to answer any questions we had. Look forward to our next visit.... Thanks

Important history presented by important people, who all deserve way more media attention.

You can see the development and how modern it is. The art pieces were amazing, very different and organized in rooms.

Wonderful place with a lot of knowledgeable exhibits, always enriching the local black society with information and documentation of experience.

The Ernie barnes experience was amazing. The colors in his paintings are vibrant and full of life. The detail brings each piece to life. Barnes body of work narrate the beauty of the African American experience from the 70's through the 90's.

Great place to see historical and innovative art, free to visit.

We ve been only once, and while it s quite small I was impressed with the collection, the layout, the lighting and ambience. Free admission when we went, but if this is still true be sure to make a donation; it s worth it.

What we saw was brilliant however there was only 2 rooms open for viewing due to conferences

Great exhibits on the history of African Amercan people in California and execellent showcases of different arts forms fr0m Afircan American artists.

This is one of many hidden gems that Los Angeles has in it's midst. This museum is by donation and brings many interesting, historical, creative, educational, and inspirational exhibits for the public to see & experience. They also have classes, a book club, show films, have speakers and try to engage the public in the experiences/contributions of the descendants of Africa from all over the world. It's located in Exposition Park.

Great exhibits!!.. interesting things to do at Expo Park...don't miss going to the IMAX

Surrounded by several other Museums and USC campuses. The Museum covers the History of slavery and migration routes, as well as other pictures and artifacts.
Unfortunately I did not get a chance to complete the entire selection of exhibits. Lots of reading.

Great collection of African American artists; including Henry Ossawa Tanner, Joseph Sims, James C. McMillan, Violet Fields, Dominique Moody. The staff were all knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions that I may have had.

Last exhibition are explendic about their culture.

This free museum is tucked into a corner of Exposition Park. Their rotating exhibits are fantastic. I just wish they had a permanent collection/exhibit on the African American history of Los Angeles and California- most people don't know anything about it.

Beautiful stroll thru Museum... Debbie Allen Dance company performance was wonderful.

Love the museum for kids and African American arts museum

Nice art and history but the museum is super dated and needs money to remodel it.

Small building with interesting AA art, worth the visit if you go to Exhibition Park

So very informative, heart breaking & uplifting all at once! A must for everyone.

Very cool place. Recommended fir all. Free admission.

Friday is my favorite day at LACMA. They have a good local jazz series in their courtyard and they let in LA residents for free. What could be better? Art and music for the soul.

This place is $15 just to walk around or $40 for every, definitely worth going to at least the $15.00. Dinosaurs bones everywhere upstairs downstairs. The African animals that are stuffed are very nice looking. The American stuffed animals are very informative and interesting. They have a nice place for children to learn. Great food downstairs in the back open area. But expensive if you are not careful, but the food is or felt organic. Enjoy it and bring your wallet.

It was like walking back in the pass and seeing just how much things are still the same all we can do is pary thaf they get better

AFRICAN DANCE COMPETITION. VICTORY DANCERS WON 3RD PLACE AND IT WAS AWESOME..

Fabulous museum One of Los Angeles treasures. A must see!!

Important community institution. At the same time, it's small, its curation is uneven, and amazingly it doesn't have a permanent exhibit either on the history of African Americans in LA or in California.

Small but with some very nice exhibits. A good stop if you're in the area but not really a destination

This was a very place to visit I went there for Aretha Franklin's memorial service when I was in California loved every minute of it

All of us had a great time, chose this MLK weekend to visit, love the exhibits, haven't been in years but will return again soon

Informative and Rich in Culture!! No matter your race go visit for yourself!! Awesome!!!

It was nice to see black history that wasn't based on slavery. It was nice to be able to look at the other side of black people and to see happy times and to see how we have influenced things that still stand up until today. The museum is free. There about four big rooms it might take about an hour and a half to go through all of them. There is art and even thing sewn with hair. Its so interesting.

Thanks for sharing our culture. Some was hard to see and hear but it is history.

fun, beautiful, and educational. bathrooms were clean and the workers were friendly and welcoming.

If the aim of this museum is to provoke thought and movement, it sure works, I was moved deeply by the works of art which I found to be very powerful. Would love to visit again one day.

This museum is beautiful and stylish! The art and history are astonishing. This place is a must visit!

I was able to visit the museum on a day when the artist was present to personally explain his favorite piece. I felt honored to gain such insight and learn about his thought process and goals. I took the time to explore all of the other exhibits and learn about my history as felt as seen through the eyes and filters of others.

Lots of fun and interesting exhibits for all. Great family making memories time

I would have hated it 5 stars if not the old and archaic way of presentation. But.. it is a super important museum. If only some exhibits become more modern and accessible to young people..

It's free, first of all, and second of all, is filled with amazing art and exhibits that really make you think about race, expression, and politics. I especially enjoyed the Ease of Fiction exhibit featuring surreal illustrations from different African artists exploring reality and perception.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time here we got some learned so much

It was a beautiful experience at the African Dance Competition I really enjoyed myself.

Great place of history... They do change the rooms now and again. My favorite was the la 93 riot. I was like.. Omg??? I saw this on tv with my dad then. And they have a terrific exhibit for martin luther king. No cafeteria there, but the california science center has food vendors and the natural history museum has a cafeteria in the basement (?) They are a nearby walk if you can walk 10-20 minutes depending on your speed of walking. There is paid-parking there. Also street signs if you decide where you want to go. Enjoy!
