MUSEUM

The African American Museum and Library at Oakland's museum galleries showcase traveling and original exhibitions that celebrate the art, history, achievements, and cultural experiences of African Americans.

Through thoughtfully curated exhibits, visitors can explore stories that connect local history with broader national and global experiences. Exhibitions feature historical artifacts, photography, artwork, documents, and multimedia presentations that educate, inspire, and encourage meaningful dialogue.

Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to discover something new, the museum offers engaging experiences for students, families, researchers, and community members alike.

We invite you to visit, explore, and discover the stories that continue to shape our communities and our shared history.
