Houston Museum of African American Culture — Attraction in Houston

When we went there weren't many pieces of art on display however everyone there was incredibly friendly I love the gift shop which is filled with African themed clothing including scrubs a lot of the artwork took an incredible amount of work and talent to accomplish I don't remember the name of all the artist but they had embroidered art they had artwork involving neon colors involving textured paintings involving photographs taken in West Africa and there was one particular piece of artwork which had depth to it as an actual depth perception illusion and involve Driftwood pieces of broken glass and some of the brown paint actually Incorporated the artist own blood and honestly I was really impressed I was impressed with the overall piece with the message of it which was about the spiritual journey and with a Shear technique that was involved also I really appreciate Dominique who worked Museum and spend some time discussing yard work with me and what he knew about the artist and everything for the more I just really enjoyed the space it looks like an amazing space to have a grand opening or a party in so you know I'm just really happy that they have such a museum here in Houston for people to visit and to visit for free that's out of just wish I had a little more content inside of it and that's really it but I really do appreciate the space and would...

Well, this is a sad, lonely little museum that needs some press! I'm shoutin' from the rooftops that you should get over here! It's FREE and the exhibits are exceptional. HMAAC features unique exhibits that give you the opportunity to experience a piece of Houston culture through different lenses.

I popped in because I read about the Kingdom of Gold: Photos of Ghana exhibit. I spent a bit of time in Ghana, frequently miss it and just needed a little comfort. The photos took me right back to my small village in the Eastern Region. I really felt as if I was there celebrating, dancing and smiling with Ama and Kofi all over again. Ms. Kaplowitz definitely captured the very essence of Ghanaian joy and spirit!

The great thing about HMAAC is that the exhibits are short run, always changing and you never know what you're going to find. Just a few months ago, there was an exhibit focused on the Houston rap scene. I wish I had known and could've seen that!

Check out their site and get over there to experience something you won't find at MFAH (although MFAH is awesome and I...

stopped in while visiting Houston and was definitely impressed. it’s a small museum, with a little parking lot out back, build into some kind of an old building with exquisite and unique architecture. I’d say looking through everything shouldn’t take much longer than an hour or so. but an hour well spent! the Afro-futurism exhibit available when I visited was enchanting, but all of the exhibits just displayed such talent and skill going into pieces with haunting commentary or emotive expressions of the hope and dreams of a community. the museum doesn’t charge necessarily for entry, but asks a $5 donation per person, and for sign-ins, and that donation is more than deserved. my only complaint is that the building itself wasn’t easy to navigate for those with disabilities, but all things considered it was a worthwhile visit- I certainly am taking home some names of artists I’d love to...
