Glad we have this jewel of a resource in our community! It's a rich source of information and history that makes me proud (in almost all cases) to be an Iowa Transplant. Thank You to all the volunteers, supporters, and anyone who helps the African American Museum of Iowa's growth!

Nice little museum with some interactive exhibits. Get your picture taken via green screen. Definitely educational. You are encouraged to donate (I did) but you do not have to.

Great place, exhibits laid out nicely. Great for the family or for a date, to learn about African American History. Please visit when you have time. Other reviews said they were bored at the Museum, don't believe them, if you pay attention and read you will have a tremendous time.
