About Northwest African American Museum

A truly important museum of Seattle and the USA! The Northwest African American Museum is filled with fascinating exhibitions designed to uplift Black voices and illuminate the histories, arts, and cultures of African Americans in the northwest, for the enrichment of all who visit.

The museum asks a key question - What does it mean to be African American in the Pacific Northwest? The museum highlights to children (and all who visit) how African Americans come from a variety of countries of origin, and that's amazing! The African American communities also represent an incredible array of religions, and a staggering array of occupations, a multitude of co-workers, neighbors, friends and families, and an ever evolving community that continues to shape and reshape the human experience in the Pacific Northwest region!

The Northwest African American Museum welcomes everyone to go and explore this continually changing and important story, and it's very kid friendly.

The Northwest African American Museum presents exhibits and programs that feature historic and contemporary narratives that include the visual arts, crafts, music, literary and culinary culture of African Americans in the Northwest as it has developed from the 1840s to the present, so there is SO much to learn, and it makes for a great family day out in Seattle!
