Was here about a year ago and decided to post my experience now. So much to see and me and my family experienced everything in one day that this building holds. I had such an amazing and memorable time that I brought my best girlfriend with me to experience this rich history of Black and African Americans. Hours upon hours can be spent inside here. The outside of the building is exquisite and captivating as well as the interactive inside. Oh man! Check out the gift shop. I could go on about this place. On visit isn’t enough. I’m telling you facts right now. The people at the information (I didn’t need assistance)are so polite, respectful, positive, and professional. Check it out for yourself. You’ll come back again. I know you will.

My experience here was great. I went by myself and actually couldn't find my ticket (on a slow day) so the people at the front just let me go in. The information is amazing. The museum was clean and staff was so friendly and helpful. The restaurant was pretty good and even during a slow day, the line/wait was long. I didn't get to see everything and hope to visit again soon.

If I could give this place a 10 star I would! It was an absolutely humbling experience ! Where do you start ? The layout is phenomenal ! You really could take two days to go through everything. If you have the time start on the bottom and work your way through. My favorite sections were the slave house, black panther party section, segregated train and the Oprah section. They have several interactive things throughout the museum as well. I like how they even mentioned controversial subjects like project housing also. All the way up to current events. On the main floor is the food court and the food was delicious! I had the Mac and cheese with collard greens and fried chicken and cornbread. Everything was delicious and the portions were very large. Parking was the only challenge but I parked a few blocks away and walked. There was a line outside but I only waited for about 10 minutes. This was something I had wanted to do for a long time and traveled all the way from Atlanta to experience and it was completely worth it and I will remember it forever. Hopefully I will be able to come back again soon. !

A great learning experience—very well curated exhibits with extremely informative and moving narratives! It’s one of those places where you can spend hours because it’s so compelling, and there’s just so much to take in! I definitely learned a number of new things during my time there.

Worthy of a full compliment of stars just for the undertaking yet the execution was and is phenomenal. I’m grateful to everyone involved. Every schoolchild should be required to experience 2 field trips here, at different ages, to appreciate all that is here.

One of the best museums on the national mall rivaling some of the best museums anywhere in the world. Well laid out massive space that's organized and with plenty of exhibit halls to satisfy the most curious intellectual. Easily spend 2-3 hours here to rush through a lot of the information. Worth visiting multiple times especially if you're a local. Really love the underground exhibit detailing some of the most pertinent aspect of African American History and Culture. Extremely immersive and interactive in other exhibits. Well worth a visit for adults and children alike.

Opened in 2016, this museum is a must see for understanding and inspiration of African American history, culture, and art over the past centuries and how people and event have shaped our nation. There are 6 levels starting underground with the origins of the slave trade in Europe and the US. As you move up each level, you'll be immersed in the struggles for freedom, respect, equality, success, and hope. I recommend AT LEAST 2 hours (3 if you'd like to get the full experience). This museum is on the top of my list when I return to DC again.

Powerful experience! Sad, enlightening, and encouraging all in the same breath! Takes several visits! We digest the powerful experience on the lower level and came back the next day. Saw a lot, still more to see & learn. I am honored at how strong my people are and all they endured for some of comforts we have today and don't even think twice about.
