Sankofa Children's Museum of African Cultures — Attraction in Baltimore

Sankofa is a place of rest for your heart. Go and spend some time in the quiet, and hear the cultural stories of many countries of Africa, take a class, and buy some art.

The Sankofa store has so much beautiful jewelry and fashions for men, women and children.
