Welcome To AAMP
​The African American Museum in Philadelphia is the first institution built by a major United States city to house and interpret the life and work of African Americans. Our doors are open for your enjoyment and enlightenment. Visit us and experience the richness and vibrancy of African American heritage and culture come alive in four magnificent exhibition galleries filled with exciting history and fascinating art.
In partnership with the City of Philadelphia’s Special Committee on 400 Years of African American History, the African American Museum in Philadelphia invites our audiences to reflect on the Black experiences that have occurred since Africans first arrived in the English colonies in 1619. Learn more!
