Cross Colours Reviews

it was really interesting to see the MLK exhibit. I learned things that school wouldn't teach in such detail. it was absolutely amazing. Entrance is free and they have a new exhibit every month, it's really awesome. :)

The Cross Colours exhibit is well put together. The photography, masterful. The information cards, enlightening. The visual elements came together exceptionally.

Cool spot..fun for families..easy access via metro..close to other museums

Hidden gem worth a visit. If you are going to Science Center, you should plan a quick visit.

Terrific exhibits in a beautifully designed building. Not crowded on weekdays.

Good museum, bit had way more potential. Right now it's more of a showcase of contemporary art. I could have so much more.

I worked here back in the early 90s. This place has a wealth of information besides its exhibits, including its wonderful book collection. I havent been there in a long time but I miss it.

It was very well spread out. The staff was friendly, and there was a variety in the content of the exhibitions.

To learn what the history of what has happen in the pass here in Los Angeles

I spent a nice afternoon at CAAM. Currently the exhibits are Athens CA, Charting the Terrain, Refuge, How Sweet The Sound, Conditions & Forms of black longevity, & Fade to Black. I found how sweet the sound and Conditions & Forms of black longevity to be the most interesting. I recommend visiting CAAM & expanding your mind.

Cool place to visit. Great exhibits, interesting artists and expressions. When you are in the area stop by.

I can't believe this museum is free! It's tucked away near museums that get a lot more traffic, which is a shame. It has one of the only exhibits I've ever seen dedicated to the history of black Americans settling in LA after the abolition of slavery. We visited during an installation by Adia Millett; the piece pictured below is called Expansion, and guests were allowed to step onto the dais and sit in the sofa, with calming noises piped in above

Awesome experience!! I recommend all to go see. I loved the information about albinism ! Art work was AMAZING ... Bringing light to the cartoons and micro-aggression were simply executed very well! I can't wait to return. It is cold inside the rooms that show art work so bring a jacket.

Can't stop, won't stop is always a delight to go to. The smooth atmosphere, the people, the music and the vibe. Especially great when you are in the company of people you love.

Great place! Always something informative, educational and interesting!

Amazing collection of African American artefacts of historical value

This place was welcoming beautiful and full of amazing art I went for the Queens Festival and stayed for the free museum day. I'd definitely go again. there's so much to see and learn about

Searing in its authenticity, this art museum opens hearts and minds while speaking truth to power!

Free admission :) Not very big but You can surely step by. Most interesting are classic movies.

I went one my last day in California for the end of my vacation. My family and I are very big on understanding and experience many different aspects of Black Culture and History. The exhibits we amazing the Adia Millett room was breath taking. Learning about The Liberators was inspiring. I just wish they had a gift shop of some sort. I will definitely be back on my next visit

I thoroughly enjoyed the music, the warm and inviting atmosphere and the beautiful, beautiful people.

Had a great time at this Summer night time event! Great music, good food and beautiful people!

This was a nice place to come see the exhibits on display. I love looking at art, trying to understand it, also the three screen videography was cool to watch. We also collected some great photos they had for the public to create their own collage. Lots of gems!

Beautiful museum! Check out the rose garden when you re done.

California African American Museum & Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Exhibit

California African American Museum to explore the exhibition: LOS ANGELES FREEDOM RALLY, 1963, which tells the story of how on May 26, 1963, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. addressed nearly 40,000 people at Wrigley Field in South Los Angeles. Black history Is Everywhere, Everything, Everyday!!! #blackexcellence #blackHistory

The exhibits are great, the staff is kind and knowledgeable, the art is inspiring

I had a tremendous amount of fun here. The art was spectacular and the history and stories spread about the entire museum fed my soul. Thank you. I will make it an effort to visit monthly.

It's OK! Mostly a briefly introduction to the eaely history of the blacks in California and the artworks.

The Africa American Museum is exciting some beautiful art work by Africa American artist.

I want to see a movie there and the sound was so bad I wanted my money back.

My first time here. It was a pleasant experience lot of fascinating works displayed. Very friendly staff and plenty of clean restrooms to use. Oh and it s free of charge so no excuses.

Interesting arts to see and learn. I enjoyed it and I learned a lot from the museum

Excellent museum with lively, informative exhibits.

The California African American Museum is drop dead unbelievable. The quality of the art is world class. The spacious open feeling of the lobby is fabulous. The quality of the presentation of the art in each of the four galleries is fabulous. The the first one called Visibly Invisible is just a knock out. It is all about albinism in Tanzania and in Jamaica and to a lesser degree in the United States. The people are discriminated against because they are albino. It is gripping touching and incredibly informative. The prejudice and literal hacking away of body parts for sale to witch doctors is beyond shocking to learn that this is happening on earth today. Beyond words for sure.
The next gallery Curvature: Lines and Shapes is a quite interesting style. Several of my artist friends I would like to come see this one. I will be encouraging them to this location as soon as possible. The art is a bit abstract here for me, but of great quality. I enjoyed it very much.
The next gallery show was titled Lookin' Back In Front Of Me had selected pieces of art from the works of Mark Steven Greenfield. He was a director of the Watts Towers Museum Arts Center. Asa supporter of the arts and local artists for decades, his range of work is eye opening and wonderful. The next gallery had even more incredible history and art of Los Angeles. All I can say at this time is that I was overwhelmed at the quality of this gallery and the art therein.
Oh yes. It's free. Triple WOW.

Ther le is some pretty cool art here. I especially liked the dark room with the projector flashing different images.

Appears to have 1 major exhibit and 2 other ones. The major exhibit was the History of Gospel Music in LA. Very informative. Has the pulpit where MLK preached a sermon that is surreal. Overall I was still expecting more. I wanted to spend the entire day there but there was not enough going on to allow me to do so.

Good.place.for.hiring.with.all.the.family.is.recommended.to.all.

Really good and valuable information. I appreciate all aspects of the the museum. Definitely room for more lessons and information, but overall it was great. Thank you!

Sat in on the Sweat the technique Politics of hip-hop forum was very informative.

This museum is great. The staff was very kind and informative to me. The restrooms were clean which was actually really nice. The grounds right outside of the building are very pretty. There is plenty to do in the area also. If you are spending a day here, you will have much to see and do.

Great way to celebrate a new beginning! Awesome book signing event.

It s a small place of a gem. Good place to bring the entire family. Check out the research library - the lady there is really cool and kind.

Great time for the Inglewood Senior Center members thanks to our tour guide Rachel...

Beautiful history, beautiful art! Black is beautiful !

Very well curated exhibitions full of context and meaning, left feeling enlightened and educated. Lovely staff.

We having A BET Party Event Here So Lot Of People From All Over The World Can Come See The Art Of The Great Earnie Barnes

Love this museum especially for my family and students. They have wonderful free workshops throughout the year just go to their website and sign up they email you reminders!! They change exhibitions every 3-4 months so dont miss any. They also hosted an event for a non profit Cadre which a parent based organization in South LA.

Loved it I have my monitored visits in this place inside the park. All joy with my kids!

I enjoy myself everytime i go... such a lovely place

I loved all the shade of the park what I did not like was seeing that outdoors having sex in front of everyone

Excellent museum of African American art !!!!! The rooms are huge and the selection of works and exhibitions held there is very good. It is very close to Downtown, and the subway drops you in front of the museum. Entrance is always free.

Totally awesome experience; it was so rewarding to be immersed into our America History,African American History of LA and will recommend to others traveling to LA to visit the museum and learn of national contributions of our people!

The exhibition was interesting. So was the AFRICAN MUSEUM.

Always elegant and educational. A treasure in the community.

The longer I live in LA the more a learn about the migration to the west coast for free brown southerners was just like what was happening across the rest of America. Thank you CAAM for sharing that story which escapes the elementary, middle and high school classrooms across this nation.

If you are a visitor a trip down to this part of town is well worth it since it's located in Exposition Park which is home to several museums such as Natural History Museum, California Science Center, and ... I let you look up the rest! A must visit museum in LA. If you are a museum going art loving person in Los Angeles and haven't visited California African American Museum yet you should do it. AND the admission is FREE!

What a coincidence, we happened to go there on the first day Kwanzaa. Always been fascinated with African American literature and history. Loved it!

Great experience, DJs, food trucks, a great opening for the new cross colors/ fashion exhibit.

Staff was friendly and the museum contained thoughtful pieces of art.

Loads of information, with a few surprise elements. Took me 2 hours to get through all exhibits, but it can certainly be stretched out longer.

I do wish there was more relevant info on exploring more ancient afro America art, so that's seriously lacking here.

Beautiful atmosphere, all around. Just keep in mind that if you're driving to visit this museum you will have to pay a high price to park. This is definitely something I would have appreciated the museum notifying on their website.

Excellent Museum. Don't ask the staff to have a political discussion though I nearly got kicked out LOL. Then again...I'm not African American.
