Review:
The Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) is a cultural museum within San Francisco's Yerba Buena Gardens, showcasing artworks and artifacts created by African people around the diaspora from prehistoric times through the present day. It was established in 2005 after city initiatives to create an African-American cultural presence within the gardens' museum and arts collective, housed within a space within the St. Regis Museum Tower designed by the Freelon Group. Visitors are challenged to think about their role in African history and its ties to modern-day culture, chronicling the movement of Homo sapiens out of Africa to all inhabited regions of the world. Exhibits examine cultural topics from the Transatlantic Slave Trade to modern-day sociopolitical discussions involving the diaspora.
