Designed by renowned British architect David Adjaye, this architectural marvel stands as a powerful tribute to African American heritage. The museum's striking three-story above-ground structure and five underground levels are clad in 3,600 bronze-colored panels that shimmer in golden-brown hues, beautifully echoing traditional African craftsmanship. 🏆 Must-See Highlights Musical Legends 🎤: Michael Jackson’s iconic fedora and other memorabilia celebrate African American contributions to music.
