#African American...

The museum is the oldest African American museum in the U.S & one of the oldest in Va. Located in the Huntington Building located on the grounds of Hampton University. The museum was founded in 1868. Over 9,000 objects not just African American art, Native American, and Asian art. Open Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm. Sat 12 to 4. Best part is admission is free. It's a hidden jewel. Walking in takes your breath away and to be honest I cried it that beautiful. It is a must see for visitors and if you live in Hampton Roads you have to take time and visit. There is a calendar of events lectures, workshops and if you have children the Children's Curiosity Room is a great place to introduce young ones to the world of art. If you home school this is the perfect field trip. They also hv guided tours for Senior citizens so if you plan activities for Senior citizens I think they will enjoy this and you can schedule a guided tour. Have nothing to do? Looking for something new to do on the weekends or your day off? Out of town visitors ? I think you will enjoy this. So go uncover this...

The museum has a really amazing collection of pieces from across sub-Saharan Africa, and an interesting collection from mostly Plains tribes. The African collection in particular is fascinating since it seems to be drawn from materials that were donated by their original owners, which is good considering how many African artifacts were taken/stolen/pillaged in the 19th and 20th century. In addition there are new gallery spaces with African+American artists, while the Museum won't take too long it is definitely...
