Wright Museum of African-American History Activities --- --- #### An educational facility that documents and celebrates the African American experience, this museum has been enthralling visitors of all backgrounds since 1965\. Since its inception, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit has been on a mission to open minds and change lives. Browse the museum’s stimulating exhibits, which chronicle and commemorate African American history and culture. After being inspired by a World War II memorial in Denmark, Dr. Charles Wright set out on a mission to bring a similar museum to Detroit, this one dedicated to African American history. After partnering with a collection of diverse community members, Dr. Wright was able to establish Detroit's first International Afro-American Museum in 1965. Be blown away by And Still We Rise, the museum's signature permanent exhibit, which is the largest single display on African American history anywhere in the world. The 22,000 square-foot (2,044 square-metre) space is home to over 20 galleries that detail the African American experience through the centuries across the globe. Naturally, the educational adventure begins in Africa, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean by way of the tragic Middle Passage. Throughout the exhibit, there is a steadfast focus on the heroic everyday people who built personal lives, spiritual traditions and cultural institutions amid oppressive situations. Explore one of the many other exhibits at the museum. These displays cover a wide range of subjects from African Americans’ role in the field of science and technology to pop culture-focused features. Stroll under the Ford Freedom Rotunda. This architectural gem is only 1 foot (30 centimetres) shorter than the U.S. Capitol dome in width. On the floor beneath the dome, find the *Ring of Genealogy*, a work of art that details the struggles of African Americans. Pay close attention, as each part of the work is symbolic of a stage in the African American experience. The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History is located in the middle of the Midtown Detroit Cultural Centre. Parking is available on a secured private lot. Alternatively, use local buses to reach the museum. The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, year-round, but is normally closed on major holidays. There is a fee to enter. ## Plan a trip to see Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,010 reviews) Probably good for meetings but not great for a night or two staycation. Best feature - the staff, friendly and helpful. Clean, spacious rooms. Only one comfortable chair in the room so second person had to use the desk chair - comfortable but not the same. Hard to find pool - no signage in main lobby. No locker room next to pool. Hot tub was out of commission.
