The California African American Museumis a free-admission museum within Los Angeles' Exposition park, showcasing the cultural history and heritage of African-Americans throughout the American West Coast.
The museum's origins trace back to a temporary facility at the California Science Center opened in 1981, three years before it moved into its permanent home nearby at the park. Today, it displays a collection of more than 6,300 artworks and artifacts related to the artistic, social, and civic history of African and African-American culture around the diaspora.
A reference library holding more than 20,000 volumes is also available for visitor use. Public programming includes children's workshops and immersive community programming meant to bridge cultural gaps.
