The National Museum of African American Music is the premier global destination for music lovers of all generations that inspires, educates, and transforms your appreciation of American Music.

African instruments

DJ Kool Herc designer Converse sneakers
Dorothy Dandridge gown
Keb’ Mo’ guitar
Kirk Whalum Saxophone with case covered with stamps from his many travels
Lisa Lopes (TLC) outfit
Paul Roberson “Emperor Jones” poster
Sammy Davis Jr. three-piece tweed suit
Teddy Pendergrass Three-Piece Suit, Framed Gold Record, and framed photos
Leopard-print dress from the collection of Whitney Houston

This is one of the greatest museums I've experienced (Mohammad Ali was pretty great too). I love the accuracy of the stories. I love also how it introduced those from our history that we don't often hear about. I love how it told the truth about our contribution to the world of music we enjoy today.

I have to admit, this museum is the cherry on top of my trip! It's absolutely "wow" and jam-packed with fascinating information. Plus, it's a blast! You can easily get lost in the world of music for hours on end.

So informative and fun. Music is ever evolving and I am happy I got to experience this museum.

The museum was awesome!! It's worth a visit..

fabulous experience across many generations & the interactive opportunities were endless. along the way met some lovely people & learnt loads too. prince giving it all on purple rain brought a tear to my eye. thank you so much- diolch yn fawr iawn all the way from welsh wales

I got what I paid for and the time was flexible. I'll use them again.
