I had the pleasure of visiting this national treasure. I learned about the great contributions of the AA Minnesota residents. Please take time to experience their quilt collection, the historical timeline of AA to the state of Minnesota and National civil rights movement. The important role that AA played in hosting the largest Juneteenth celebration, Prince artistic homage, and George Floyd display. It was an amazing visit and I hope others will take time to visit, support, and donate to keep it open and to expand and make this national treasure 10-20 times bigger.

Lacks basic professionalism and courtesy. We tried going there today. Checked website, checked Facebook. Both said the museum was open. Thought I might call to check. Nope. No phone number. Drive over half hour only to find a sign when we got to the elevator in parking museum that it was closed. Can they manage an engaging, safe and interesting museum if they can't manage basic tasks? Take some lessons in basic courtesy and business. Maybe contact one of the other ethnic and historical museums in the area. The Germans , Swedes, Hmong and the more inclusive MN Historical Society did the right thing! Please learn from them!

The Minnesota African American Museum is smaller than I expected, but surpassed my expectations of the immense amount of Minnesota African American history it incompassed. I was greeted quite warmly the moment I stepped into the entry. The displays are immaculate quality and accurately informative. As stated before Enjoy the experience. I will definitely recommend everyone who is a lover of American history to visit the museum.

Beautiful place❤️. They are closed on Mondays but I took these thru the windows. They open Tuesday starting at 1pm. I can't wait to walk around and really see what's inside. I would love to Volunteer there couple hours out of the week. I think it's free, maybe they take donations I'm not really sure

So much history packed into a small space. MAAHM covers the rich history of African American culture and the Civil Rights Movement in Minnesota. Local art is featured as well with special exhibits throughout the year! Highly informative and plenty of fun facts for all ages!

We appreciated this small but powerful museum and gallery. Specific info on black history in Minnesota. The quilts were full of heartfelt messages and representations of the black experience. A collection of children’s books available for purchase also. As a visitor to the state of Minnesota we left with new information and understanding. Another bonus free parking !!!

Welcoming, knowledgeable staff, a ton of great information. We also were given a scavenger hunt to complete. I enjoyed seeing the quilts as well as the art.

Great place to take kids on saturday mornings.They have a reading session and allow kids to read to each other. The book all AA authors!

Great place to learn about the history of Minnesota's African Americans. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers.

So nice to see an African American museum return to Mpls/St. Paul. Please frequent and donate so this one stays.

Loved the, usually Ommitted, rich, self-portrait history of existance and accomplishments, against all odds.

It's an amazing place for all minnesotans to see. Actually for all individuals who visit Minnesota to see.

Amazing experience and will be coming back! Thank you we needed this in our community

I give them an A for effort. Just enjoy the experience and be prepared to read.

Very chill atmosphere, learned a lot and the art was really moving!

Please notify your visitors to stop parking in the bike lane.

I didn't know this jewel was around the corner.

Great information to see our black history

A wonderful place to visit.
