The Minnesota African-American Heritage Museum and Gallery is a nonprofit museum that was originally founded in 2018, open to the public Tuesdays through Saturdays during the morning and afternoon hours. The free-admission museum strives to preserve and promote the accomplishments and experiences of Minneapolis and Minnesota's African-American citizens, showcasing a variety of permanent and temporary rotating exhibits, including a retrospective exhibit of the area's earliest African-American settlers, who moved to the area during the early 20th century as part of what has become known as the Great Migration. Exhibits also highlight influential black women in Minnesota and the service of African-American soldiers in World War I and World War II. Children can enjoy a weekly reading circle, which showcases stories and puppet performances by local authors.

Address: 1256 Penn Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55411
