Known forafrican american historyblack historyjonestowninner harbor east
The largest African American museum on the East Coast and Maryland's flagship for Black history, from slavery and the Underground Railroad through civil rights and contemporary culture. The permanent galleries are genuinely moving and well-curated, and rotating exhibits keep it fresh for repeat visits. It's smaller than the big national institutions in D.C., so plan on about 90 minutes rather than a full day.
